Marrying Off Those Under Your Care

SUMMARY: Marry off those under your care to someone whose religion and character you are pleased with, or else there will be turmoil and discord in the land.

Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with proposes to (someone under the care) of one of you, then marry to him. If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land and abounding discord (Fasad)".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَثِيمَةَ النَّصْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا خَطَبَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَزَوِّجُوهُ إِلاَّ تَفْعَلُوا تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ عَرِيضٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ وَعَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَدْ خُولِفَ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏ فَرَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ مُرْسَلاً ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَحَدِيثُ اللَّيْثِ أَشْبَهُ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَعُدَّ حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ مَحْفُوظًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of marriage for those under one's care. The Prophet Muhammad is advising that when someone who has a good religious faith and character proposes to someone under one's care then they should marry them off. If this isn't done then it can lead to turmoil and discord in the land. It is important to ensure that those who are getting married have a good religious faith as well as a good character so that their marriage will be successful. This hadith also teaches us about responsibility; we must take responsibility for those under our care by ensuring they get married into a suitable family with similar values and beliefs.
