حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الثَّيِّبُ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فِي نَفْسِهَا وَالْبِكْرُ تُسْتَأْذَنُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ إِذْنُهَا قَالَ أَنْ تَسْكُتَ.
English Translation
Isma'il narrated to us, he said: al-Hajjaj ibn Abi Uthman informed us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The previously married woman is to be consulted regarding herself, and the virgin is to be asked permission." They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how is her permission given?' He said: 'By her silence.'
