Hadith 988

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA): A virgin girl came to the Prophet (SAW) and mentioned that her father had married her against her will, so Allah's Messenger (SAW) allowed her to exercise her choice. [Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah. If it is considered defective for being Mursal (missing link in the chain after the Tabi'i)].

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏- رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا‏- { أَنَّ جَارِيَةً بِكْرًا أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَذَكَرَتْ: أَنَّ أَبَاهَا زَوَّجَهَا وَهِيَ كَارِهَةٌ , فَخَيَّرَهَا اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-} رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ , وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ , وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ , وَأُعِلَّ بِالْإِرْسَالِ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
