Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie who said, ‘A man asked him^asws about a man who died and left two brothers and the daughter, and the daughter was young. So one of the brothers was the executor of the will, so he got the daughter married to his own son. Then the father who got the son married, died. So when he died, the other brother said, ‘He did not get his son married, so he got the girl married to his own son. So it was said to the girl, which of the two husbands is more beloved to you, the former or the later?’ She said, ‘The later’. Then the second brother died, and for the first brother was son older than the son of the one who had given in marriage. So he said to the girl, ‘Choose which of the two is more beloved to you, the first husband or the last?’ So he (the narrator) said, ‘The report has in it that she is for the later husband, and that is because she had happened to have reached adulthood when she was married off, and it is not for her that she breaks what she had bonded to, after her adulthood’.<a id="_ftnref1483"></a>^[1483] (p.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)
