Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ لِلْوَلِيِّ مَعَ الثَّيِّبِ أَمْرٌ وَالْيَتِيمَةُ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فَصَمْتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Rafi' reported to us; he said: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us; he said: Ma'mar informed us, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from Nafi ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: ‘A guardian has no authority over a previously married woman, and an orphan girl is consulted; her silence is her affirmation.’

Translation notes

  • The matn distinguishes a previously married woman (al-thayyib) from an orphan girl (al-yatima); it describes the latter’s silence as affirmation (iqrar).
