2- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ وَلِيدٍ بَيَّاعِ الأسْفَاطِ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ عَنْ جَارِيَةٍ كَانَ لَهَا أَخَوَانِ زَوَّجَهَا الأكْبَرُ بِالْكُوفَةِ وَزَوَّجَهَا الأصْغَرُ بِأَرْضٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ الأوَّلُ بِهَا أَوْلَى إِلا أَنْ يَكُونَ الآخَرُ قَدْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَإِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَنِكَاحُهُ جَائِزٌ.

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all from Safwan from ibn Muskan from Walid Bayya’ al-Asfat who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah , was asked about the case of a girl, when I was present, who had several brothers. The elder brother gave her in marriage in al-Kufah and the younger brother gave her in marriage in another land and he (the Imam) said, ‘The first has priority unless the other one has gone to bed with her, and if he has gone to bed she is his wife and his marriage is binding.”’
