A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from âAbd Allah ibn al-Khazraj who has said the following: âA man once wrote to him (the Imam) (a.s.), and asked him (the Imam) about his marriage proposal which had taken place many years, months and days ago and he is not certain if he asked to declare the terms of marriage or it was already declared.
He (the Imam) answered him on the issue, âIt is not obligatory for him to do anything other than what his heart is tied down with and about which his decision is established.ââ جÙÙÙ - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (MirʾÄt al-Ê¿UqÅ«l fÄ« Sharḥ AkhbÄr Äl al-RasÅ«l (20/416))
