Book 68: The Book of Divorce

كِتَاب الطَّلَاقِ

Chapter 18

(18) Chapter. The Statement of Allah: “Do not marry Al-Mushrikat (idolatresses) till they believe (i.e., worship Allah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress) even though she pleases you." (V.2:221)

18- بَابُ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {وَلاَ تَنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكَاتِ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَّ وَلأَمَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُشْرِكَةٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ}:

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي

Whenever Ibn `Umar was asked about marrying a Christian lady or a Jewess, he would say "Allah has made it unlawful for the believers to marry ladies who ascribe partners in worship to Allah, and I do not know of a greater thing, as regards to ascribing partners in worship, etc. to Allah, than that a lady should say that Jesus is her Lord although he is just one of Allah's slaves."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ نِكَاحِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ ، وَالْيَهُودِيَّةِ قَالَ : "

إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ الْمُشْرِكَاتِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ مِنَ الْإِشْرَاكِ شَيْئًا أَكْبَرَ مِنْ أَنْ تَقُولَ الْمَرْأَةُ : رَبُّهَا عِيسَى وَهُوَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ
