Muwatta Malik #1151
Marriage
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" الأَيِّمُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا وَالْبِكْرُ تُسْتَأْذَنُ فِي نَفْسِهَا وَإِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا " .
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn al-Fadl from Nafi ibn
Jubayr ibn Mutim from Abdullah ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A woman who has been
previously married is more entitled to her person than her guardian,
and a virgin must be asked for her consent for herself, and her
consent is her silence "
