[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no marriage without a guardian." Abu Sa'id Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Rumayh al-Nakha'i narrated to us, said Ibrahim ibn Nasr al-Kindi told me, he said: I heard Sa'id ibn Hashim al-Kaghazi saying: I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal saying, "If you find a hadith from Zuhayr ibn Muawiyah, do not turn to anyone else, for he is one of the most reliable narrators."
