[Machine] "Bilal had a brother who belonged to the Arabs and claimed to be one of them. He proposed to marry a woman from the Arab tribe, and they said, 'If Bilal approves, we will marry you to her.' Bilal attended and said, 'I am Bilal ibn Rabah, and this is my brother. He has a bad character and religion. If you want to marry him, go ahead, and if you want to reject, feel free to do so.' They said, 'Whoever his brother is, we will marry him.' They married him and it is a valid narration, without any contradiction. This is the story of Bilal's brother."
أَنَّ أَخًا لِبِلَالٍ كَانَ يَنْتَمِي إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَيَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ فَخَطَبَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَقَالُوا إِنْ حَضَرَ بِلَالٌ زَوَّجْنَاكَ قَالَ فَحَضَرَ بِلَالٌ فَقَالَ «أَنَا بِلَالُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ وَهَذَا أَخِي وَهُوَ امْرُؤٌ سَيِّئُ الْخُلُقِ وَالدِّينِ فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ تُزَوِّجُوهُ فَزَوِّجُوهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَدَعُوا فَدَعُوا» فَقَالُوا مَنْ تَكُنْ أَخَاهُ نُزَوِّجُهُ فَزَوَّجُوهُ «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَأَخُو بِلَالٍ هَذَا لَهُ رِوَايَةٌ» صحيح
