2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all from Safwan from ibn Muskan from Walid Bayya’ al-Asfat who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah , was asked about the case of a girl, when I was present, who had several brothers. The elder brother gave her in marriage in al-Kufah and the younger brother gave her in marriage in another land and he (the Imam) said, ‘The first has priority unless the other one has gone to bed with her, and if he has gone to bed she is his wife and his marriage is binding.”’
