Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the Prophet’s wife, narrated: She married Hafsah, the daughter of Abdul Rahman, to Mundhir ibn az-Zubayr, while Abdul Rahman was absent in Sham. When Abdul Rahman arrived, he said: "Is this done to someone like me, and preempted?" Aishah spoke to Mundhir about it, and Mundhir said: "It is in Abdul Rahman’s hands." Abdul Rahman said: "I would not undo a matter you have decided." So Hafsah remained with him, and it was not a divorce

(1) The statement: "She married Hafsah, etc." It is stated in "Al-‘Arf ash-Shadhi": Our evidence includes what is in At-Tahawi that Aishah married Hafsah, her brother’s daughter, to her sister’s son, and Hafsah’s father, Abdul Rahman, was in Sham, and Aishah was not her guardian. At-Tahawi said: Since Aishah, a discerning woman, saw that marrying her to someone else was permissible and deemed the contract valid, even approving the ownership that only occurs with a valid and established marriage, it is impossible for us that she saw this, knowing the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No marriage except with a guardian." Thus, it is established that what was narrated from Az-Zuhri about it is invalid

(۱)قوله : أنها زوجت حفصة إلى : وقال في العرف الشذي»: وأما أدلتنا فمنها ما في الطحاوي أن عائشة أنكحت حفصة بنت أخيها بابن أختها، وكان أبو حفصة عبد الرحمن بالشام، وما كانت عائشة وليتها، انتهى. وقال الطحاوي: فلما كانت عائشة مرير قد رأت أن تزويجها بنت عبد الرحمن بغيره جائز، ورأت ذلك العقد مستقيما حتى أجازت فيه التمليك الذي لا يكون إلا عن صحة النكاح وثبوته استحال عندنا أن يكون ترى ذلك، وقد علمت أن رسول الله قال: لا نكاح إلا بولي، فثبت بذلك فساد ما روي عن الزهري في ذلك.
