Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرِّبَاطِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الأَيِّمُ أَوْلَى بِأَمْرِهَا وَالْيَتِيمَةُ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فِي نَفْسِهَا وَإِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Sa'id al-Ribati reported to me; he said: Ya'qub narrated to us; he said: my father narrated to me, from Ibn Ishaq, who said: Salih ibn Kaysan narrated to me, from Abd Allah ibn al-Fadl ibn Abbas ibn Rabi'ah, from Nafi ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im, from Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘A previously married woman has greater authority over her own affairs, and an orphan girl is consulted about herself; her silence is her permission.’
