Marriage without Khutbah Speech before (Solemnizing) a Marriage

This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a marriage without formal proposal (Khutbah). He (the Imam) said, ‘Is it not the case in general that when our young people marry, we prepare food and at the table we say, “O so and so, do you give so and so in marriage to so and so” and he says, “Yes, I have done so”?”’

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), when solemnizing a marriage at the table of food would say no more than his saying, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, he would ask forgiveness from Allah and say, ‘We have given to you in marriage on the condition of Allah.’ Then Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.), would say, ‘If Allah is praised then Khutbah is complete (proposal, or the speech before solemnization).”’
