نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُبَشِّرٍ ، نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، نَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ ، نَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تُسْتَأْمَرُ الْيَتِيمَةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا ، فَإِنْ سَكَتَتْ فَقَدْ أَذِنَتْ ، فَإِنْ أَنْكَرَتْ لَمْ تُكْرَهْ " ، قَالَ أَبُو قَطَنٍ : قُلْتُ لِيُونُسَ : سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ أَوْ مِنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ.
Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The consent of an orphan girl regarding herself should be sought; if she remains silent, then she has given permission, but if she refuses, then she should not be forced." The narrator named Abu Qatan states: I asked Yunus, "Did you hear this narration from him? (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) Did you hear it from Abu Burdah?" He replied, "Yes."
