Narrated Sa'id ibn Mansur and Qutaybah ibn Sa'id—both said: Malik narrated to us. And (also) narrated Yahya ibn Yahya—and the wording is his—who said: I said to Malik: Did 'Abdullah ibn al-Fadl narrate to you from Nafi' ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas, that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "The previously married woman has more right to herself than her guardian, and the virgin is to be asked for permission regarding herself, and her permission is her silence." He said: Yes.
