English translation

2075. Al-A'raj narrated that Al-'Abbās bin 'Abdullāh bin Al-'Abbās married his daughter to 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Ḥakam, while 'Abdur-Raḥmān married his daughter to him (Al-'Abbās), making the two women the dowry for each other. So Mu'āwiyah wrote to Marwān commanding him to separate them, and he said in his letter: "This is the very Shighār that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited." (Hasan)

Arabic text

2075 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ هُرْمُزَ الْأَعْرَجُ، أَنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ، أَنْكَحَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ ابْنَتَهُ، وَأَنْكَحَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنَتَهُ وَكَانَا جَعَلَا صَدَاقًا فَكَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ يَأْمُرُهُ بِالتَّفْرِيقِ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ: «هَذَا الشِّغَارُ الَّذِي نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
