Marriage

Sahih (authentic)« Sahih Lighairihi » by Salim al-Hilali

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، خَطَبَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ أُخْتَهُ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ كَانَتْ أَحْدَثَتْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَضَرَبَهُ - أَوْ كَادَ يَضْرِبُهُ - ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا لَكَ وَلِلْخَبَرِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr al-Makki that somebody asked a man for his sister in marriage and the man mentioned that she had committed fornication. Umar ibn al-Khattab heard about it and he beat the man or almost beat him, and said, "What did you mean by giving him such information?
EN
Abou Al-Zoubair Al-Makki a rapporté qu'un homme donna sa sœur en fiançailles en avouant qu'elle a commis l'adultère. Rapportant cela à Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, il l'appela et le frappa, ou selon ce qui est dit, allait le frapper, en lui disant: «Que cherches-tu en racontant cet événement»?
