٢٢٧ 227 Prohibition for a Reason Indicated by a Reason Given in Another Hadith-Report Sufyān reported to us from Yaḥyā, from ʿAmrah, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: “Self-employed laborers278 would come to prayer as they were, and it was said to them, ‘If only you had performed the major washing.’” Prohibition for a Reason Indicated by a Reason Given in Another Hadith-Report Mālik reported to us from Abū l-Zinād and Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ḥabbān, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah, that God’s Emissary said: “Let none of you make a marriage proposal that interferes with the marriage proposal of his counterpart.”279 Mālik reported to us from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet, that he said: “Let none of you make a marriage proposal that interferes with the marriage proposal of his counterpart.” Al-Shāfiʿī said: If there had not been any indication from God’s Emissary that his prohibition against making a marriage proposal that interferes with the marriage proposal of a counterpart was for one reason and not another , the most apparent meaning would have been that it was unlawful for someone to make a marriage proposal that interfered with someone else’s from the time the first proposal was first made until it was abandoned. It might be that the Prophet’s saying “Let none of you make a marriage proposal that interferes with the marriage proposal of his counterpart” was intended as the answer to a question that would determine the hadith-report ’s meaning, but that the one who transmitted it did not hear the underlying reason for the question in response to which God’s Emissary said this. Thus, the two transmitters may have conveyed some of the report but not all of it. Alternatively, they may have had doubts about part of it and were silent about what they doubted. Thus, the Prophet may have been asked about a man who proposed to a woman who accepted his proposal and gave permission to be married to him.
