(the daughter of Abu Talib) I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of the Conquest of Mecca and found
him taking a bath, and his daughter, Fatima was screening him. When I greeted him, he said, "Who is
it?" I replied, "I am Um Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib." He said, "Welcome, O Um Hani ! " When
the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his bath, he stood up and offered eight rak`at of prayer while he was wrapped
in a single garment. When he had finished his prayer, I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My maternal brother
assumes (or claims) that he will murder some man whom I have given shelter, i.e., so-and-so bin
Hubaira." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Um Hani! We shelter him whom you have sheltered." Um Hani
added, "That happened in the forenoon."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 184
I went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on an expedition, but my camel delayed me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and said to me: Jabir, I said: Yes. Allah's Messenger, (here I am at your beck and call) He said: What is the matter with you? I said: My camel has delayed me and is tired, so I have lagged behind. He (the Holy Prophet) got down and goaded it with a crooked stick and then said: Mount it. So I mounted and (to my great surprise) I saw it (moving so quickly that) I had to restrain it (from going ahead of) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He (the Holy Prophet) (in the course of journey said to me): Have you married? I said: Yes. He (again) said: Is it with a virgin or one previously married? I said. With one previously married, whereupon he (again) said: Why not with a young girl with whom you could sport and she could have sported with you? I said: I have sisters, so I preferred to marry a woman who could keep them together (as one family). who could comb them and look after them. He said: You are about to go (to your house), and there you have the enjoyment (of the wife's company). He again said: Do you want to sell your camel? I said: Yes. So he bought it from me for one u'qiya (of silver), Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived (at Medina) and I arrived in the evening. I went to the mosque and found him at the door of the mosque, and said: Is it now that you have arrived? I said: Yes, He said: Leave your camel, and enter (the mosque) and offer two rak'ahs. So I entered and offered two rak'ahs of prayer, and then returned. He (the Holy Prophet) then commanded Bilal to weigh out one 'uqiya (of silver) tor me. Bilal weighed that out for me (lowering the scale of) balance. So I proceeded and as I turned my back he said: Call for me, Jabir. So I was called back, and I said (to myself): He would return me the camel, and nothing was more displeasing to me than this (that after having received the price I should also get the camel). He said: Take your camel and keep its price with you, (also).
Sahih Muslim Book 17, Hadith 74
`Urwa bin Az-Zubair said that he asked `Aisha about the meaning of the Quranic Verse:--
"And if you fear that you will not deal fairly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your
choice." (4.2-3)
Aisha said, "It is about a female orphan under the guardianship of her guardian who is inclined
towards her because of her beauty and wealth, and likes to marry her with a Mahr less than what is
given to women of her standard. So they (i.e. guardians) were forbidden to marry the orphans unless
they paid them a full appropriate Mahr (otherwise) they were ordered to marry other women instead of
them. Later on the people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. So Allah revealed the following Verse:--
"They ask your instruction (O Muhammad!) regarding women. Say: Allah instructs you regarding
them..." (4.127)
and in this Verse Allah indicated that if the orphan girl was beautiful and wealthy, her guardian would
have the desire to marry her without giving her an appropriate Mahr equal to what her peers could get,
but if she was undesirable for lack of beauty or wealth, then he would not marry her, but seek to marry
some other woman instead of her. So, since he did not marry her when he had no inclination towards
her, he had not the right to marry her when he had an interest in her, unless he treated her justly by
giving her a full Mahr and securing all her rights.
