أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " اسْتَأْمِرُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ " . قِيلَ فَإِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تَسْتَحِي وَتَسْكُتُ . قَالَ " هُوَ إِذْنُهَا " .
