Jami at-Tirmidhi 2981 (Book 47, Hadith 33) #28630
The Importance of a Wali in Marriage

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the importance of a Wali (guardian) in marriage and how Allah revealed a verse to support this.

Narrated Al-Hasan: from Ma'qil bin Yasar that he married his sister to a man among the Muslims during the time of the Messenger of Allah . She remained with him as long as she did, then he divorced her once without taking her back until her 'Iddah elapsed, but they desired each other again. He (Ma'qil) said to him: 'You ingrate! I honored you by marrying her to you, then you divorced her. By Allah! She will never be returned to you again'. Allah knew of his heed for her and her need for a husband, so Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed: 'And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period'. up to His saying: '. and you do not know (2:232)'. So when Ma'qil heard that he said: 'I heard my Lord and obey'. Then he called for him and said: 'I marry you, and honor you'." Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. It has been reported through other routes from AlHasan, and that is reported from Hasan is Gharib. And in this Hadith, there is proof that marriage is not allowed without a Wali, because Ma'qil bin Yasar's sister was not a virgin, so if the matter was up to her, not her Wali, then she could have married herself, and she would have had no need for Ma'qil bin Yasar to act as the Wali for her. And Allah only addressed the Wali in this Ayah, saying: Do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands. - so in this Ayah is the evidence that the authority is with the Wali in marrying (women) with their consent.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنِ الْمُبَارَكِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ زَوَّجَ أُخْتَهُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَكَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ مَا كَانَتْ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً لَمْ يُرَاجِعْهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتِ الْعِدَّةُ فَهَوِيَهَا وَهَوِيَتْهُ ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا مَعَ الْخُطَّابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا لُكَعُ أَكْرَمْتُكَ بِهَا وَزَوَّجْتُكَهَا فَطَلَّقْتَهَا وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ أَبَدًا آخِرُ مَا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَعَلِمَ اللَّهُ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَحَاجَتَهَا إِلَى بَعْلِهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏(‏ وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ ‏)‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏:‏‏(‏ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ‏)‏ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهَا مَعْقِلٌ قَالَ سَمْعًا لِرَبِّي وَطَاعَةً ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ أُزَوِّجُكَ وَأُكْرِمُكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ‏.‏ وَفِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ دَلاَلَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ لاَ يَجُوزُ النِّكَاحُ بِغَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ لأَنَّ أُخْتَ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ كَانَتْ ثَيِّبًا فَلَوْ كَانَ الأَمْرُ إِلَيْهَا دُونَ وَلِيِّهَا لَزَوَّجَتْ نَفْسَهَا وَلَمْ تَحْتَجْ إِلَى وَلِيِّهَا مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَإِنَّمَا خَاطَبَ اللَّهُ فِي الآيَةِ الأَوْلِيَاءَ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ولَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ ‏)‏ فَفِي هَذِهِ الآيَةِ دَلاَلَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الأَمْرَ إِلَى الأَوْلِيَاءِ فِي التَّزْوِيجِ مَعَ رِضَاهُنَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of having a guardian or wali when it comes to marriage. It is narrated by Al-Hasan from Ma'qil bin Yasar that he married his sister to a man among the Muslims during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. After some time they divorced but then desired each other again. Ma'qil was angry at him for divorcing her and said she would never be returned to him again. Allah then revealed Surah al-Baqarah 2:232 which states that if two people desire each other after divorce they can remarry with consent from their guardians or walis. This hadith shows us that it is important for both parties involved in marriage to have consent from their guardians as well as mutual agreement between them before getting married or remarrying after divorce. It also teaches us about being grateful and honoring those who help us out even if we don't agree with them all the time.
