حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ : "
الثَّيِّبُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا ، وَالْبِكْرُ يَسْتَأْمِرُهَا أَبُوهَا
" . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : أَبُوهَا لَيْسَ بِمَحْفُوظٍ .
