Hadith text

Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid and Majammi bin Yazid:The same ,Hadith above: A man called Khidam married a daughter of his (to somebody) against her consent. 'If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice.' (4.3) And if somebody says to the guardian (of a woman), "Marry me to so-and-so," and the guardian remained silent or said to him, "What have you got?" And the other said, "I have so much and so much (Mahr)," or kept quiet, and then the guardian said, "I have married her to you," then the marriage is valid (legal). This narration was told by Sahl on the authority of the Prophet

Abdur Rahman bin Yazid aur Majammi bin Yazid bataate hain: (Upar wali hadees jaisa hi hai): Khidam naami ek shaks ne apni beti ka nikaah (kisi se) uski razaamandi ke bagair karwaaya. 'Agar tumhe dar ho ke tum yateem ladkiyon ke saath insaaf nahi kar sakoge, to (doosri) apni pasand ki auraton se nikaah karo.' (4:3) Aur agar koi (aurat ke) sarparast se kahe, 'Mera nikaah falaan se kar dijiye,' aur sarparast khaamosh rahe ya kahe, 'Tumhaare paas kya hai?' aur doosra kahe, 'Mere paas itna itna (Mahr) hai,' ya khaamosh rahe, phir sarparast kahe, 'Maine unka nikaah tumse kar diya,' to nikaah jaayez (qaanooni) hoga. Ye riwayat Sahl ne Nabi (SAW) ke hawaale se bayaan ki hai.
