حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ نُكِحَتْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ وَلِيِّهَا فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ فَإِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَلَهَا الْمَهْرُ بِمَا اسْتَحَلَّ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا فَإِنِ اشْتَجَرُوا فَالسُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لاَ وَلِيَّ لَهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ . وَقَدْ رَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَسُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي مُوسَى حَدِيثٌ فِيهِ اخْتِلاَفٌ رَوَاهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَشَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرَوَى أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرَوَى أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَدَّادُ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيْضًا . وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ نِكَاحَ إِلاَّ بِوَلِيٍّ " . وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى . وَلاَ يَصِحُّ . وَرِوَايَةُ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ رَوَوْا عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ نِكَاحَ إِلاَّ بِوَلِيٍّ " . عِنْدِي أَصَحُّ لأَنَّ سَمَاعَهُمْ مِنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ شُعْبَةُ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ أَحْفَظَ وَأَثْبَتَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ رَوَوْا عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَإِنَّ رِوَايَةَ هَؤُلاَءِ عِنْدِي أَشْبَهُ لأَنَّ شُعْبَةَ وَالثَّوْرِيَّ سَمِعَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ . وَمِمَّا يَدُلُّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيَّ، يَسْأَلُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ أَسَمِعْتَ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ نِكَاحَ إِلاَّ بِوَلِيٍّ " . فَقَالَ نَعَمْ . فَدَلَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَلَى أَنَّ سَمَاعَ شُعْبَةَ وَالثَّوْرِيِّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي وَقْتٍ وَاحِدٍ . وَإِسْرَائِيلُ هُوَ ثِقَةٌ ثَبْتٌ فِي أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ . سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُثَنَّى يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ يَقُولُ مَا فَاتَنِي مِنْ حَدِيثِ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الَّذِي فَاتَنِي إِلاَّ لَمَّا اتَّكَلْتُ بِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْتِي بِهِ أَتَمَّ . - وَحَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ نِكَاحَ إِلاَّ بِوَلِيٍّ " حَدِيثٌ عِنْدِي حَسَنٌ . رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرَوَاهُ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرُوِيَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلُهُ . وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ الْحَدِيثِ فِي حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَأَنْكَرَهُ . فَضَعَّفُوا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا . وَذُكِرَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَعِينٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ إِلاَّ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ . قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَسَمَاعُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ إِنَّمَا صَحَّحَ كُتُبَهُ عَلَى كُتُبِ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ مَا سَمِعَ مِنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَضَعَّفَ يَحْيَى رِوَايَةَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ . - وَالْعَمَلُ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ عَلَى حَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ نِكَاحَ إِلاَّ بِوَلِيٍّ " . عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَغَيْرُهُمْ . وَهَكَذَا رُوِيَ عَنْ بَعْضِ فُقَهَاءِ التَّابِعِينَ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لاَ نِكَاحَ إِلاَّ بِوَلِيٍّ . مِنْهُمْ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ وَالْحَسَنُ الْبَصْرِيُّ وَشُرَيْحٌ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَغَيْرُهُمْ وَبِهَذَا يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَالأَوْزَاعِيُّ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَمَالِكٌ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ .

Ibn Abi Umar narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, from Sulayman ibn Musa, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Aishah, that the Messenger of Allah said: Any woman who is married without her guardian's permission, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If he consummates the marriage with her, she is entitled to the dowry because of what he has made lawful of her sexual relations. If they dispute, the ruler is the guardian of one who has no guardian. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan. Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Ansari, Yahya ibn Ayyub, Sufyan al-Thawri, and more than one of the hadith masters narrated something similar from Ibn Jurayj.
Abu Isa said: The hadith of Abu Musa is disputed. Isra'il, Sharik ibn Abdullah, Abu Awanah, Zuhayr ibn Muawiyah, and Qays ibn al-Rabi narrated it from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, from the Prophet. Asbat ibn Muhammad and Zayd ibn Hubab narrated it from Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, from the Prophet. Abu Ubaydah al-Haddad narrated something similar from Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, from the Prophet, without including Abu Ishaq in the chain. It has also been narrated from Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from the Prophet. Shu'bah and al-Thawri narrated from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from the Prophet: There is no marriage without a guardian. Some of Sufyan's companions mentioned a chain from Sufyan, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, but that is not sound. In my view, the narration of those who reported from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, from the Prophet—There is no marriage without a guardian—is more authentic, because they heard from Abu Ishaq at different times. Although Shu'bah and al-Thawri had better retention and were more reliable than all those who narrated this hadith from Abu Ishaq, the reports of the others seem more plausible to me, because Shu'bah and al-Thawri heard this hadith from Abu Ishaq at one sitting.
Evidence for this is the report narrated to us by Mahmud ibn Ghaylan, who said: Abu Dawud narrated to us: Shu'bah informed us; he said: I heard Sufyan al-Thawri ask Abu Ishaq, Did you hear Abu Burdah say that the Messenger of Allah said, There is no marriage without a guardian? He replied, Yes. This report shows that Shu'bah and al-Thawri heard this hadith at the same time. Isra'il is trustworthy and firmly established in his transmission from Abu Ishaq. I heard Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna say: I heard Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi say, Whatever I missed of al-Thawri's hadith from Abu Ishaq, I relied on Isra'il for it, because he brought it in a fuller form.
The hadith of Aishah in this chapter, from the Prophet—There is no marriage without a guardian—is hasan in my view. Ibn Jurayj narrated it from Sulayman ibn Musa, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Aishah, from the Prophet. Al-Hajjaj ibn Artah and Ja'far ibn Rabi'ah also narrated it from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Aishah, from the Prophet. A similar report was narrated from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Aishah, from the Prophet. Some hadith scholars criticized the report of al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Aishah, from the Prophet. Ibn Jurayj said: Then I met al-Zuhri and asked him about it, and he denied it. Because of this, they deemed the hadith weak. It is related from Yahya ibn Ma'in that he said: Only Isma'il ibn Ibrahim included this wording from Ibn Jurayj. Yahya ibn Ma'in said: Isma'il ibn Ibrahim's hearing from Ibn Jurayj is not particularly strong. He had only checked his books against the books of Abd al-Majid ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Abi Rawwad, covering what Abd al-Majid had heard from Ibn Jurayj. Yahya considered Isma'il ibn Ibrahim's narration from Ibn Jurayj weak.
Practice in this chapter follows the hadith of the Prophet, There is no marriage without a guardian, according to the scholars among the Companions of the Prophet, including Umar ibn al-Khattab, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Abdullah ibn Abbas, Abu Hurairah, and others. The same has been related from some jurists among the Successors, who said there is no marriage without a guardian. Among them were Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, al-Hasan al-Basri, Shurayh, Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, and others. This was also the view of Sufyan al-Thawri, al-Awza'i, Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, Malik, al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ نُكِحَتْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ وَلِيِّهَا فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ فَإِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَلَهَا الْمَهْرُ بِمَا اسْتَحَلَّ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا فَإِنِ اشْتَجَرُوا فَالسُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لاَ وَلِيَّ لَهُ " .
The source uses al-sultan, literally the ruler or governing authority, as the substitute guardian.
Should al-sultan be rendered as ruler, governing authority, or another institutional term?
