Hadith 1431

- " كان إذا أراد أن يزوج بنتا من بناته جلس إلى خدرها، فقال: إن فلانا يذكر فلانة - يسميها، ويسمي الرجل الذي يذكرها - فإن هي سكتت، زوجها، أو كرهت نقرت الستر، فإذا نقرته لم يزوجها ".
When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would marry off any daughter, he would sit by her curtain and say (to seek her permission): "So-and-so man has mentioned so-and-so woman," and he would mention both their names. If she remained silent, he would marry her to him, and if she disliked it, she would lower the curtain. When she lowered the curtain, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not marry her to that man. This hadith is narrated from Lady Aisha, Abu Hurairah, Abdullah ibn Abbas, and Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with them).
