Hadith of Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan (RA)
حديث معاوية بن أبي سفيان رضي الله عنه
Hadith 245:17
Ibrahim ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd narrated to us, he said: My father narrated to me, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, he said: 'Abd al-Rahman al-A'raj ibn Hurmuz narrated to me, that al-'Abbas ibn 'Abd Allah ibn al-'Abbas gave his daughter in marriage to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hakam, and 'Abd al-Rahman gave his daughter in marriage to him, and they had made them [the marriages] as a dowry for each other. Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, while he was Caliph, wrote to Marwan and ordered him to separate them. He said in his letter: "This is *al-shighar* (exchange marriage), and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has forbidden it."
حدثنا إبراهيم بن سعيد حدثنا يعقوب بن إبراهيم بن سعد قال حدثني أبي عن محمد بن إسحاق قال حدثني عبد الرحمن الأعرج بن هرمز أن العباس بن عبد الله بن العباس أنكح عبد الرحمن بن الحكم ابنته وأنكحه عبد الرحمن ابنته وقد كانا جعلاه صداقا فكتب معاوية بن أبي سفيان وهو خليفة إلى مروان فأمره بالتفريق بينهما وقال في كتابه * هذا الشغار وقد نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عنه
