حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ أَخْبَرَنِي الثِّقَةُ أَوْ مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ إِلَى نَسِيبٍ لَهُ ابْنَتَهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ هَوَى أُمِّ الْمَرْأَةِ فِي ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَكَانَ هَوَى أَبِيهَا فِي يَتِيمٍ لَهُ قَالَ فَزَوَّجَهَا الْأَبُ يَتِيمَهُ ذَلِكَ فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمِّرُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي بَنَاتِهِنَّ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4905
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he proposed to the daughter of a relative of his through marriage: the girl's mother favoured Ibn 'Umar but her father wanted her to marryan orphan he was taking care of. So the father gave her in marriage to that orphan. She came to the Prophet (PBUH) and told him about that, and the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Consult women with regard to their daughter's marriages."
