الْيَتِيمَةُ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فِي نَفْسِهَا فَإِنْ صَمَتَتْ فَهُوَ إِذْنُهَا وَإِنْ أَبَتْ فَلاَ جَوَازَ عَلَيْهَا
al-yatīmah tustaʾmaru fī nafsihā fa-in ṣamatat fahuwa idhnuhā wa-in abat falā jawāza ʿalayhā

The full narration
Abu Hurairah narrated that:The Messenger of Allah said: "An orphan is to be consulted about herself, then if she is silent that is her permission, and if she refuses, then do not authorize it (the marriage) for her" (meaning: when she attains the age of puberty and refuses it)
