قال إبن زبير لا يمنعكم من تزوج إمرأة قصيرة قِصَرُها فإن الطويلة تلد القصير والقصيرة تلد الطويل وإياكم والمذّكَرة فانها لا تُنجِب
عيون الأخبار لإبن قتيبة كتاب النساء
Ibn Zubair said: The fact that she is short does not prohibit you from marrying a short woman, for tall women can give birth to short people, and short women can give birth to tall people. But watch out for manly women, for surely they can not have children.
Ibn Al-Qutayba, ‘Uyun Al-akhbar [Wellsprings of Narratives], The book of women
