The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Any woman whom two guardians have given in marriage belongs to the first of them, and whoever sells the same item to two men, it belongs to the first of them."
أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: أيما امرأة زوجها وليان فهيي للأول منهما. ومن باع بيعا من رجلين فهو للأول منهما.
Tirmidhi (1110) narrated it from Qutayba, who said, Ghundar told us, Saeed bin Abu Aruba told us, from Qatada, from Hasan, from Samura bin Jundab, and he related it.Tirmidhi said, "A hasan hadith."I say, this is as he said, for the chain contains Saeed bin Abu Aruba, who became confused in his later years, and it is not clear to me when Muhammad bin Jafar, known as Ghundar, heard from him. However, he was corroborated by others.Ahmad (20085) also narrated it by this route, except that he said in it, "from Uqba or Samura," the doubt coming from Saeed bin Abu Aruba, so perhaps he narrated it during the period of his confusion. Likewise, Ibn Majah (2190) narrated it from the hadith of Khalid bin Harith, from Saeed, with the same doubt.The correct view is that it is from the hadith of Samura bin Jundab, for a group narrated it from Saeed bin Abu Aruba without any doubt, among them Abdul-Wahhab bin Ata. Hakim narrated it by his route (2/175), and from him Bayhaqi (7/140). But there was also disagreement over Abdul-Wahhab's own narration, for Yahya bin Abu Talib narrated it this way without doubt, while Muhammad bin Ishaq said, Abdul-Wahhab bin Ata told us from him, with doubt, and Bayhaqi narrated it by this latter route.Among those who also narrated it with doubt was Abu Asim, from Saeed bin Abu Aruba, as found in Bayhaqi, who said, "This disagreement arose from Ibn Abu Aruba in the chain of this hadith. Abu Aban Attar corroborated him from Qatada in saying, 'from Uqba bin Amir.' But the correct view is the narration of whoever narrated it from Samura bin Jundab." End of quote.I say, the hadith has come this way from other than Saeed bin Abu Aruba as well, among them Hisham, Hammam, and Hammad, all of them narrating from Qatada, from Hasan, from Samura bin Jundab, and their narrations are found in Abu Dawud. Likewise, Ibn Majah (2191) narrated it from the hadith of Waki, from Saeed bin Bishr, from Qatada, and its chain is sahih. Abu Zura and Abu Hatim both graded it sahih.Hafiz said in Talkhis, "Its soundness depends on establishing that Hasan actually heard from Samura, for its narrators are trustworthy."I say, these scholars and others have established that Hasan heard from Samura without qualification, and this is the view I hold, as I have mentioned repeatedly.
