Narrated Abu Haraira: Allah's Apostle said, A lady slave should not be given in marriage until she is consulted, and a virgin should not be given in marriage until her permission is granted. The people said, How will she express her permission? The Prophet said, By keeping silent (when asked her consent). Some people said, If a man, by playing a trick, presents two false witnesses before the judge to testify that he has married a matron with her consent and the judge confirms his marriage, and the husband is sure that he has never married her (before), then such a marriage will be considered as a legal one and he may live with her as husband.

Some people said, If a man falls in love with an orphan slave girl or a virgin and she refuses (him) and then he makes a trick by bringing two false witnesses to testify that he has married her, and then she attains the age of puberty and agrees to marry him and the judge accepts the false witness and the husband knows that the witnesses were false ones, he may consummate his marriage.

Once he visited Hafsa and remained with her longer than the period he used to stay, so I enquired about it. It was said to me, A woman from her tribe gave her a leather skin containing honey as a present, and she gave some of it to Allah's Apostle to drink. I said, By Allah, we will play a trick on him. So I mentioned the story to Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) and said to her, When he enters upon you, he will come near to you whereupon you should say to him, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He will say, 'No.' Then you say to him, 'What is this bad smell? ' And it would be very hard on Allah's Apostle that a bad smell should be found on his body. He will say, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' Then you should say to him, 'Its bees must have sucked from the Al-`Urfut (a foul smelling flower).' I too, will tell him the same. And you, O Saifya, say the same. So when the Prophet entered upon Sauda (the following happened). Sauda said, By Him except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I was about to say to him what you had told me to say while he was still at the gate because of fear from you. But when Allah 's Apostle came near to me, I said to him, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He replied, 'No.' I said, 'What about this smell?' He said, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' I said, 'Its bees must have sucked Al-`Urfut.' When he entered upon me, I told him the same as that, and when he entered upon Safiya, she too told him the same. So when he visited Hafsa again, she said to him, O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give you a drink of it (honey)? He said, I have no desire for it. Sauda said, Subhan Allah! We have deprived him of it (honey). I said to her, Be quiet!

Then `AbdurRahman bin `Auf told him that Allah's Apostle said, If you hear the news of an outbreak of an epidemic (plague) in a certain place, do not enter that place: and if the epidemic falls in a place while you are present in it, do not leave that place to escape from the epidemic. So `Umar returned from Sargh.

So whoever hears that there is an outbreak of plague in some land, he should not go to that land, and if the plague breaks out in the land where one is already present, one should not run away from that land, escaping from the plague.
