Sunan Abi Dawud 2075 (Book 12, Hadith 30) #22366
Forbidden Exchange Marriage

SUMMARY: The hadith is about two families exchanging their daughters in marriage and the dower being the exchange itself, which is forbidden according to the Messenger of Allah.

Abdur Rahman ibn Hurmuz al-A'raj said: Al-Abbas ibn Abdullah ibn al-Abbas married his daughter to Abdur Rahman ibn al-Hakam, and AbdurRahman married his daughter to him. And they made this (exchange) their dower. Mu'awiyah wrote to Marwan commanding him to separate them. He wrote in his letter: This is the shighar which the Messenger of Allah has forbidden.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ هُرْمُزَ الأَعْرَجُ، أَنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ، أَنْكَحَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ ابْنَتَهُ وَأَنْكَحَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنَتَهُ وَكَانَا جَعَلاَ صَدَاقًا فَكَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ يَأْمُرُهُ بِالتَّفْرِيقِ بَيْنَهُمَا وَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ هَذَا الشِّغَارُ الَّذِي نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow Islamic teachings strictly

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a practice known as shighar, which was an exchange marriage between two families. In this case, Al-Abbas ibn Abdullah ibn al-Abbas married his daughter to Abdur Rahman ibn al-Hakam and AbdurRahman married his daughter to him. The dower for both marriages was the exchange itself. However, Mu'awiyah wrote to Marwan commanding him to separate them because this type of marriage was forbidden by the Messenger of Allah. This hadith teaches us that we should not engage in any practices that are forbidden by Islam and that we should follow its teachings strictly.
