أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الثَّيِّبُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا وَالْبِكْرُ يَسْتَأْمِرُهَا أَبُوهَا وَإِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا " .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Mansur reported to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ziyad ibn Sa'd, from Abd Allah ibn al-Fadl, from Nafi ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘A previously married woman has more right to decide for herself. A virgin is to be consulted by her father, and her silence is her permission.’
