21. Marriage
٢١۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
[Machine] "O Abu Talhah, is not your god, whom you worship, a piece of wood that grew from the earth, carved by an Abyssinian belonging to the Banu Fulan? He replied, "Yes." She said, "Then do not accompany me if you worship a piece of wood that grew from the earth, carved by an Abyssinian belonging to the Banu Fulan. If you have embraced Islam, I don't want anything else from you." He said, "Wait until I think about it." He then left and returned, saying, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." She said, "O Anas, marry Abu Talhah."
يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ أَلَيْسَ إِلَهُكُمُ الَّذِي تَعْبُدُ خَشَبَةً نَبَتَتْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ نَجَرَهَا حَبَشِيُّ بَنِي فُلَانٍ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَتْ فَلَا تَصْحَبْنِي إِنْ تَعْبُدْ خَشَبَةً نَبَتَتْ فِي الْأَرْضِ نَجَرَهَا حَبَشِيُّ بَنِي فُلَانٍ إِنْ أَنْتَ أَسْلَمْتَ لَمْ أُرِدْ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا غَيْرَهُ قَالَ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ فِي أَمْرِي قَالَ فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ «أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ» قَالَتْ يَا أَنَسُ زَوِّجْ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ
"Tell the Messenger of Allah that I am a jealous woman and that I have sons, and none of my guardians are present." He went to the Messenger of Allah and told him that. He said: "Go back to her and tell her: As for your saying that you are a jealous woman, I will pray to Allah for you to take away your jealousy. As for your saying that you have sons, your sons will be taken care of. And as for your saying that none of your guardians are present, none of your guardians, present or absent, would object to that." She said to her son: "O 'Umar, get up and perform the marriage to the Messenger of Allah," so he performed the marriage. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3254)
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ لَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُهَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ تَزَوِّجْهُ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا عُمَرُ يَخْطُبُهَا فَلَمْ تَزَوِّجْهُ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهَا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَخْطُبُهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَخْبِرْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرَى وَأَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مُصْبِيَةٌ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي شَاهِدٌ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْ لَهَا أَمَّا قَوْلُكِ أَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرَى فَسَأَدْعُو اللهَ فَيُذْهِبُ غَيْرَتَكِ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مُصِيبَةٌ فَسَتُكْفَيْنَ صِبْيَانَكِ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي شَاهِدٌ فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكِ شَاهِدٌ وَلَا غَائِبٌ يَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ» فَقَالَتْ لِابْنِهَا يَا عُمَرُ قُمْ فَزَوِّجْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَزَوَّجَهُ مُخْتَصَرٌ
