67/38. Chapter:

If the guardian himself is the suitor

وَخَطَبَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ امْرَأَةً هُوَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِهَا فَأَمَرَ رَجُلاً فَزَوَّجَهُ. وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ لأُمِّ حَكِيمٍ بِنْتِ قَارِظٍ أَتَجْعَلِينَ أَمْرَكِ إِلَيَّ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ قَدْ تَزَوَّجْتُكِ. وَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ لِيُشْهِدْ أَنِّي قَدْ نَكَحْتُكِ أَوْ لِيَأْمُرْ رَجُلاً مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهَا. وَقَالَ سَهْلٌ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهَبُ لَكَ نَفْسِي فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَزَوِّجْنِيهَا.

Sahih BukhariHadith Number 5131

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ فِي قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ‏}‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ، قَالَتْ هِيَ الْيَتِيمَةُ تَكُونُ فِي حَجْرِ الرَّجُلِ، قَدْ شَرِكَتْهُ فِي مَالِهِ، فَيَرْغَبُ عَنْهَا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا، وَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا غَيْرَهُ، فَيَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَالِهِ، فَيَحْبِسُهَا، فَنَهَاهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ‏.‏

Narrated `Aisha: (regarding His Statement): 'They ask your instruction concerning the women. Say: Allah instructs you about them ...' (4.127) It is about the female orphan who is under the guardianship of a man with whom she shares her property and he does not want to marry her and dislikes that someone else should marry her, lest he should share the property with him, so he prevents her from marrying. So Allah forbade such a guardian to do so (i.e. to prevent her from marrying).
