It is narrated from Ibrahim bin Salih (Salih being the man known as Sayyiduna Nu'aym bin al-Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him), whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had named "Salih") that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): Propose on my behalf for the daughter of Salih. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He has orphans (under his care) (that is, Salih's own orphaned nephews), and he will not prefer us over them (that is, he will marry her to one of his nephews or the like). Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to his uncle Sayyiduna Zayd bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) so that he would make the proposal. Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Salih (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Abdullah bin Umar has sent me to you to propose for your daughter. He said: I have some orphans under my care (that is, my nephews and the like), so I will not neglect my own flesh and blood and prefer your relative. I call you to witness that I have married her to so-and-so. The girl's mother wished her to be married to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), so she came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Prophet of Allah! Abdullah bin Umar proposed for my daughter, but her father has married her to an orphan boy under his care, and he did not ask her wishes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Sayyiduna Salih (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "Have you married off your daughter without asking her wishes?" He replied: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Consult women about themselves, even if they are virgins." Sayyiduna Salih (may Allah be pleased with him) said: She did this only because Abdullah bin Umar had given her money; Abdullah bin Umar shall have from my wealth as much as he gave her.
Ahmad recorded it, and
it is mursal; its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
