Bayhaqi 13356 — The woman who offered herself being permitted to him ﷺ
اُردوEn
وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ الْأَزْهَرِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةٌ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَهُ " فَعَلَى هَذَا إِنْ صَحَّ إِسْنَادُهُ كَأَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْجَاهُنَّ، وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهُنَّ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ حَلَالًا لَهُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not have any woman who had gifted herself to him. On the basis of this hadith, if its chain is sound, it is as though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) deferred marrying them and did not accept them, even though they were lawful for him (peace and blessings be upon him). And Allah knows best.
