حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ و عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا نِکَاحَ إِلَّا بِوَلِيٍّ وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ وَالسُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ
