Hadith 5141

If the suitor says (to the guardian of a woman), "Marry me to so-and-so," and the guardian says, "I have married her to you for such and such amount of Mahr," then the marriage is valid even if he does not ask the husband, "Have you agreed or have you accepted (her)?"

5141 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا، فَقَالَ: «مَا لِي اليَوْمَ فِي النِّسَاءِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا، قَالَ: «مَا عِنْدَكَ؟» قَالَ: مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ، قَالَ: «أَعْطِهَا وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» قَالَ: مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ، قَالَ: «فَمَا عِنْدَكَ مِنَ القُرْآنِ؟» قَالَ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: «فَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ القُرْآنِ»
