Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibrahim narrates that if a woman’s marriage was conducted in Kufa by a guardian named “Ubaidullah,” while a man in Syria had already married her before Ubaidullah, whose marriage would be valid? When the man from Syria came to Kufa, he brought this case before the court of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled in favor of the first, even though she had already borne a child from the second.
