وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَقَالَ " الثَّيِّبُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا وَالْبِكْرُ يَسْتَأْذِنُهَا أَبُوهَا فِي نَفْسِهَا وَإِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا " . وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ " وَصَمْتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا " .
Sufyan reported on the basis of the same chain of transmitters (and the words are):A woman who has been previously married (Thayyib) has more right to her person than her guardian; and a virgin's father must ask her consent from her, her consent being her silence, At times he said: Her silence is her affirmationRapporté par Sufyan, selon la même chaîne de transmetteurs : Une femme déjà mariée a plus de droit sur elle-même que son tuteur ; et le père d’une vierge doit lui demander son accord, qui se manifeste par son silence. Parfois, il disait : « Son silence est une affirmation. »Grades given by scholars
