أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" تُسْتَأْمَرُ الْيَتِيمَةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا، فَإِنْ سَكَتَتْ، فَقَدْ أَذِنَتْ، وَإِنْ أَبَتْ لَمْ تُكْرَهْ "

Abu Nu`aym told us, Yunus bin Abi Ishaq told us, Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa told me, on the authority of Abu Musa, he said: The Messenger of God said: May God’s prayers and peace be upon him: “The orphan is to be appointed to herself, and if she remains silent, then she is given permission, and if she refuses, she is not forced to do so.”
