Chapter on the Guardian, Witnesses, Proposal, and Dowry
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا زَوَّجَ اَلْأَبُ وَ اَلْجَدُّ كَانَ اَلتَّزْوِيجُ لِلْأَوَّلِ فَإِنْ كَانَا زَوَّجَا فِي حَالٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَالْجَدُّ أَوْلَى".
Hisham ibn Salim and Muhammad ibn Hakim narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: "If the father and the grandfather both arrange the marriage, the marriage arranged by the first one will take precedence. However, if both arranged the marriage simultaneously, then the grandfather has greater authority."
