2- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنِ الْكَاهِلِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَوَّجَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ قَالَ النِّكَاحُ جَائِزٌ إِنْ شَاءَ الْمُتَزَوِّجُ قَبِلَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ الْمُتَزَوِّجُ تَزْوِيجَهُ فَالْمَهْرُ لازِمٌ لأمِّهِ.

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from ‘Isma’il ibn Sahl from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad al- Hadramy from al-Kahili from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Once, abu Ja’far , was asked about the case of a man whose mother arranged marriage for him in his absence. He (the Imam) said, ‘Marriage is permissible, the husband may agree or disagree; and if he disagrees payment of mahr (dower) becomes due on his mother.’”
