Mughirah bin Shubah said: “I came to the Prophet and told him of a woman to whom I had to propose marriage. He said: 'Go and look at her, for that is more likely to create love between you.' So I went to a woman among the Ansar and proposed marriage through her parents. I told them what the Prophet had said, and it was as if they did not like that. Then I heard that woman, behind her curtain, say: 'If the Messenger of Allah has told you to do that, then do it, otherwise I adjure you by Allah (not to do so)'. And it was as if she regarded that as a serious matter. So I looked at her and married her.” And he mentioned how well he got along with her.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ امْرَأَةً أَخْطُبُهَا فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا فَأَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَخَطَبْتُهَا إِلَى أَبَوَيْهَا وَأَخْبَرْتُهُمَا بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَأَنَّهُمَا كَرِهَا ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَسَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَهِيَ فِي خِدْرِهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ فَانْظُرْ وَإِلاَّ فَإِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ كَأَنَّهَا أَعْظَمَتْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا فَذَكَرَ مِنْ مُوَافَقَتِهَا

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ امْرَأَةً أَخْطُبُهَا فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا» فَأَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَخَطَبْتُهَا إِلَى أَبَوَيْهَا وَأَخْبَرْتُهُمَا بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَأَنَّهُمَا كَرِهَِا ذَلِكَ فَسَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَهِي فِيَ خِدْرِهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ فَانْظُرْ وَإِلَّا فَإِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ كَأَنَّهَا أَعْظَمَتْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا  

[Machine] I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned a woman that I wanted to marry. He said, "Go and look at her because it is more fitting for you to be pleased with her." So, I went to a woman from the Ansar, proposed to her, and informed her parents about the Prophet's ﷺ statement. It seemed as though they disapproved of it. The woman overheard this conversation while she was in her room and said, "If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has ordered you to look at me, then look, otherwise, I advise you to reconsider because it seems like this issue is causing problems." I looked at her and then married her.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ امْرَأَةً أَخْطُبُهَا فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا» فَأَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَخَطَبْتُهَا إِلَى أَبَوَيْهَا وَأَخْبَرْتُهُمَا بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَأَنَّهُمَا كَرِهَِا ذَلِكَ فَسَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَهِي فِيَ خِدْرِهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ فَانْظُرْ وَإِلَّا فَإِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ كَأَنَّهَا أَعْظَمَتْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned a woman to him whom I intended to marry. He said, "Go and look at her, for it is more fitting that love and compatibility is established between you." So, I went to a woman from the Ansar and proposed to her through her parents, informing them of the Prophet's ﷺ advice. However, both her parents seemed displeased with this idea. The woman overheard their conversation while she was in her tent and said, "If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded you to look, then look. Otherwise, I implore you to witness that I consider this matter to be of the greatest importance." Upon hearing this, I turned and looked at her, and then I married her.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ امْرَأَةً أَخْطُبُهَا فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا» فَأَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَخَطَبْتُهَا إِلَى أَبَوَيْهَا وَأَخْبَرْتُهُمَا بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَأَنَّهُمَا كَرِهَِا ذَلِكَ فَسَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَهِي فِيَ خِدْرِهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ فَانْظُرْ وَإِلَّا فَإِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ كَأَنَّهَا أَعْظَمَتْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا  

"عَنِ الْمُغِيرة بن شُعْبَة، قَالَ: خَطَبْتُ جَارِيةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِى ﷺ ، فَقَالَ لِى: رَأَيْتَها؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا، قَالَ: فَانْظُرْهَا، فَإنَّهُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يَؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا، فَأَتَيْتَهُم فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِوَالِديهَا، فَنَظَر أحَدُهُمَا إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ فَقُمْتُ فَخَرَجْتُ، فَقَالَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ عَلَىَّ الرَّجُل، فَرَجَعْتُ، فَوَقَفْتُ نَاحِيَةَ خِدْرِهَا، فَقَالتْ: إِنْ كَانَ رَسُول الله ﷺ أَمَركَ

أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَىَّ فَانْظُرْ، وَإلَّا فَإِنى أحرجُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَنْظُر، فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا، فَمَا تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ كَانَتْ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْهَا، وَلَا أكْرَمَ عَليها مِنْهَا (*)، وَقَدْ تَزَوَّجْتُ سَبْعِين امْرَأَةً".
