حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ أَبِي وَقَرَأْتُ عَلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ خِلَاسٍ وَعَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أُتِيَ فِي امْرَأَةٍ تَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ فَلَمْ يُسَمِّ لَهَا صَدَاقًا فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَالَ فَاخْتَلَفُوا إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا هِلَالَ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ ابْنَ مُرَّةَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا هِلَالَ بْنَ مُرَّةَ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4277
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ood that Ibn Mas'ood was consulted about a woman whom a man married but did not name a dowry for her, then he died before consummating the marriage. And they kept coming to Ibn Mas'ood to ask about that... And he quoted the hadeeth except that he said: Her husband was Hilal and I think Ibn Murrah said: 'Abdul-Wahhab said: and her husband was Hilal bin Murrah al-Ashja'i.
