أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، ثنا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: خَطَبْتُ امْرَأَةً، فَذَكَرْتُهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي: " هَلْ نَظَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟ " قُلْتُ: لَا قَالَ: " فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا " فَأَتَيْتُهَا وَعِنْدَهَا أَبَوَاهَا، وَهِيَ فِي خِدْرِهَا قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ: فَسَكَتَا قَالَ: فَرَفَعَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ جَانِبَ الْخِدْرِ، فَقَالَتْ: أُحَرِّجُ عَلَيْكَ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلِيَّ لَمَا نَظَرْتَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَأْمُرْكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلِيَّ، فَلَا تَنْظُرْ قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجْتُهَا قَالَ: فَمَا وَقَعَتْ عِنْدِي امْرَأَةٌ بِمَنْزِلَتِهَا، وَلَقَدْ تَزَوَّجْتُ سَبْعِينَ أَوْ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ امْرَأَةً ".
Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I sent a marriage proposal to a woman and mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you seen her?" I said: "No." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and look at her, for that is more likely to create love between you." Sayyiduna al-Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I went to her; her parents were present and she was concealed behind her curtain. I said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded me to look at you." The two of them fell silent. Then the girl raised one side of her curtain and said: "I adjure you: if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded you to look at me, then look; and if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has not commanded you to look at me, then do not look." So I looked at her, and then I married that woman. No woman ever reached her standing with me, and I married seventy or more than seventy women.
