أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ غُرَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا کَهْمَسُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ فَتَاةً دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبِي زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَ أَخِيهِ لِيَرْفَعَ بِي خَسِيسَتَهُ وَأَنَا کَارِهَةٌ قَالَتْ اجْلِسِي حَتَّی يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَائَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَی أَبِيهَا فَدَعَاهُ فَجَعَلَ الْأَمْرَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَجَزْتُ مَا صَنَعَ أَبِي وَلَکِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ أَلِلنِّسَائِ مِنْ الْأَمْرِ شَيْئٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3277
It was narrated from ‘Aishah: “A girl came to her and said: ‘My father married me to his brother’s son so that he might raise his own status thereby, and I was unwilling.’ She said: ‘Sit here until the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم comes.’ Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came, and I told him (what she had said). He sent word to her father, calling him, and he left the matter up to her. She said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, I accept what my father did, but I wanted to know whether women have any say in the matter.” (Sahih)
