Slander: Who makes marriage contract with his hand

[هشيم]

The Prophet of Islam says: and he who makes matrimony contract with his hand; i.e. married to his hand.


I read and heard of a very ridiculous slander of one of them saying:
O Muslims, making a matrimony contract is not marriage as you describe because there are hadiths contains expression “makes matrimony contract with his hand”, does that mean the mad marries his hand…?!
For this he referred to what is written in “ Treasure of the Worker in Statements and Deeds’ Sunana” numbered 44363 reported from Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) “Harith reported from Ali saying: Allah’s Apostle (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) said: Seven kinds of people Allah will not look at them and speak with them, they are told: Enter the Fire with those who enter, unless they repent, unless they repent, unless they repent: is the doer (subject), object, who makes matrimony contract with his hand, who marries his neighbour’s wife, the insolent liar, who worsens hardship and who beats his parents so much that they cry for help.” Ibn jarir said: it is not heard from the Prophet (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) only this narration by Ali, there is no other reports from Ali except for this, but its meanings are the same meanings reported from the Prophet (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) which has report containing phrases different from these.
