Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27292

Ahmad ibn Mani` and Qutaibah narrated to us, they said, Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, on the authority of al-Zuhri, on the authority of Sa`id ibn al-Musayyab, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said Qutaybah is reported to the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and Ahmad said - The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “A man should not sell on behalf of his brother.” He should not propose a proposal like his brother’s engagement.” He said, and in the chapter on the authority of Samurah and Ibn Umar. Abu Issa said the hadith of Abu Hurairah is a hasan hadith. Sahih. Malik ibn Anas said: The meaning of disliking a man to propose to his brother is if the man proposes to the woman and she accepts it. It is not It is permissible for anyone to propose a proposal after his engagement. Al-Shafi’i said the meaning of this hadith: “A man should not propose a proposal after his brother’s engagement.” With us, if a man proposes to a woman and she accepts him and relies on him, then no one has the right to propose to him after he proposes to her, but before he knows Her satisfaction or If she leans towards him, there is no harm in him proposing to her. The evidence for that is the hadith of Fatima bint Qais, where she came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and mentioned to him that the father Jahm bin Hudhayfah and Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan addressed her and said, “As for Abu Jahm, he is a man who does not raise his staff from women. Muawiyah is a vagabond who has no money, but marry Osama.” The meaning of this hadith is with us, and God knows best, that Fatima did not tell him. With her consent to one of them, even if she had told him, he would not have indicated anything other than what she mentioned about her.
