Bayhaqi Q13818 — The words by which marriage is contracted

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِنَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا} [الأحزاب: 37]، وَقَالَ تَعَالَى: {وَامْرَأَةً مُؤْمِنَةً إِنْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنْ أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ أَنْ يَسْتَنْكِحَهَا خَالِصَةً لَكَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [الأحزاب: 50] مَعَ آيَاتٍ سِوَاهُمَا ذَكَرَهَا، قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: سَمَّى اللهُ النِّكَاحَ اسْمَيْنِ النِّكَاحَ، وَالتَّزْوِيجَ وَأَبَانَ أَنَّ الْهِبَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Then when Zayd had fulfilled his need of her (that is, divorced her), We married her to you' [Surah al-Ahzab: 37].
And Allah Almighty said: 'And a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet wishes to marry her; (this is) exclusively for you, not for the (other) believers' [Surah al-Ahzab: 50]," along with some other verses besides these two that he mentioned.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Allah Almighty has given marriage two names: nikah and tazwij, and He made clear that (marriage by) gift is only for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), not for the other believers."
