Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3788 — Discussion on Marriage
نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ بُهْلُولٍ ، نَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ ، نَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَخَيَّرُوا لِنُطَفِكُمْ لا تَضَعُوهَا إِلا فِي الأَكْفَاءِ " ، قَالَ الأَشَجُّ : " تَخَيَّرُوا لِنُطَفِكُمْ ، وَأَنْكِحُوا الأَكْفَاءَ ، وَأَنْكِحُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ".
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Choose the best (i.e., righteous wives) for your seed and place it only among equals (kufu’)." The narrator named Ashaj has reported these words: "Choose the best (i.e., righteous wives) for your seed and marry among equals, and have others marry among them (the equals) as well."
