Sahih al-Bukhari 5131

Hadith text

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)

Aisha Allah ke is farmaan ke baare mein bataati hain: 'Wo aapse auraton ke baare mein hukm poochte hain. Kaho: Allah tumhein unke baare mein hukm deta hai...' (4:127) Ye us yateem ladki ke baare mein hai jo ek aise aadmi ki nigraani mein hoti hai jiske saath wo apni jaayadaad saanjha karti hai, aur wo use nikaah karna nahi chaahta aur ye bhi napasand karta hai ke koi aur usse nikaah kare, kahin wo jaayadaad mein saanjhedaar na ban jaaye, isliye wo use nikaah karne se rokta hai. To Allah ne aise sarparast ko aisa karne se mana kiya.
