أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ فَقَامَتْ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ؟ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا إِزَارِي هَذَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَهَا إِزَارَكَ جَلَسْتَ لَا إِزَارَ لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ الْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَالْتَمَسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سُورَةُ كَذَاوَسُورَةُ كَذَا لِسُوَرٍ يُسَمِّيهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar from Sahl ibn Sad as-Saidi that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah! I have given myself to you." She stood for a long time, and then a man got up and said, "Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need of her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have anything to give her as a bride-price?" He said, "I possess only this lower garment of mine." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you give it to her you will not have a garment to wear so look for something else." He said, "I have nothing else." He said, "Look for something else, even if it is only an iron ring." He looked, and found that he had nothing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know any of the Qur'an?" He said, "Yes. I know such-and-such a sura and such-and-such a sura," which he named. The Messengerof Allah ﷺ said to him, "I have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ فَقَامَتْ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلاَّ إِزَارِي هَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَهَا إِيَّاهُ جَلَسْتَ لاَ إِزَارَ لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا قَالَ الْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَالْتَمَسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَىْءٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ مَعِي سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا لِسُوَرٍ سَمَّاهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَنْكَحْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, I have offered myself to you. When she stood for a long time, a man got up and said: Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need for her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Have you anything to give her as dower ? He replied: I have nothing by this lower garment of mine. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you give your lower garment, you will sit while you have no lower garment. So look for something else. He said: I do not find anything. He said: Look for something, even though it should be an iron ring. The man sought it but found nothing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do you know anything from the Qur'an ? He said: Yes, I know surah so and so, which he named. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have given you her in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2111)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ فَقَامَتْ طَوِيلًا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ بِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ» فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا إِزَارِي هَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَعْطَيْتَهُ إِيَّاهَا جَلَسْتَ لَا إِزَارَ لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا» فَقَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ «فَالْتَمِسْ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ» قَالَ نَعَمْ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا لِسُوَرٍ سَمَّاهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»

[AI] He said: While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a woman approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I offer myself to you as a gift." He looked at her up and down and straightened himself. Then he remained silent. A man stood up who had nothing on him except for a single garment tied around his neck. He said, "If you don't need her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you have anything to give as a dowry?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then you must find something. Go and look for it." So he went and searched, but he found nothing. He returned and said, "I couldn't find anything." The Prophet ﷺ told him, "Go and search, even if it's just a ring made of iron." So he went and returned, saying, "I couldn't find even a ring made of iron." Then he sat down, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you have any part of the Quran with you?" He replied, "Surah such and such and Surah such and such." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have married her to you based on what you have of the Quran."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي جِئْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهَبُ لَكَ نَفْسِي فَصَعَّدَ فِيهَا النَّظَرَ وَصَوَّبَهُ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مَا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ عَاقِدٌ طَرَفَيْهِ عَلَى عُنُقَهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَزَوِّجْنِيهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ «أَعِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَلَا بُدَّ لَهَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَاذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ» فَذَهَبَ فَالْتَمَسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَجِدْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ وَلَا خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ لَمْ أَجِدْهُ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ؟» فَقَالَ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا فَقَالَ «قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا عَلَى مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»

[AI] He heard Sahl bin Sa'd say, "I was with the people by the Prophet's ﷺ when a woman came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have donated myself to you, so see what you think.' A man stood up and said, 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allah, if you have no need for her.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent and then she stood up and said the same thing. The man said, 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allah, if you have no need for her.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man, 'Do you have anything to give her?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Then go and look for something.' So he went and came back saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, I found nothing.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Go and look for something, even if it is an iron ring.' So he went and came back saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, I found nothing, not even an iron ring.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do you have anything from the Quran?' He said, 'Yes, Surah such and such, and Surah such and such.' He said, 'Then go, for I have married her to you with what you have from the Quran.'"

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ فِي الْقَوْمِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبَتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ فَرَأْ فِيَّ رَأْيَكَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنْكِحْنِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ فِيهَا حَاجَةٌ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْكِحْنِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ فِيهَا حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلرَّجُلِ «هَلْ عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ تُعْطِيهَا إِيَّاهُ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَاذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ شَيْئًا» فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا وَلَا خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ was approached by a woman who offered herself to him. He remained silent. Then a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you do not have a need for her, then marry her to me." The Prophet asked him, "Do you have anything to give in return?" The man replied, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet then asked him, "Do you recite anything from the Quran?" The man said, "Yes." The Prophet asked, "What do you recite?" The man mentioned a few Surahs. The Prophet said, "I have given her to you in exchange for what you have from the Quran." Then, I saw him walking away and she was following him.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَوَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَهُ فَصَمَتَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَزَوِّجْنِيهَا؟ فَقَالَ «أَلَكَ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ سُورَةَ كَذَا وَسُورَةَ كَذَا فَقَالَ «قَدْ أَمْلَكْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ» فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَمْضِي وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُهُ

[AI] A woman came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and offered herself to him. He said, "I don't have any need for women today." A man then said, "O Messenger of Allah, marry her to me." The Prophet asked him, "What do you have?" The man replied, "I have nothing." The Prophet then said, "Give her even if it is just an iron ring." The man said, "I have nothing." The Prophet asked him, "Do you have anything from the Quran?" The man replied, "Yes, I have such and such." The Prophet then said, "I have married her to you in exchange for what you have from the Quran." And the wording of this hadith is from the narration of 'Arim.

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَا لِي فِي النِّسَاءِ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا فَقَالَ «مَا عِنْدَكَ؟» فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ «أَعْطِهَا وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَالَ «فَمَا عِنْدَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ؟» قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ «فَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُكَهَا بِمَا عِنْدَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ عَارِمٍ

[AI] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and offered herself to him. He remained silent and did not respond, so she stood there for a long time until we pitied her because of how long she had been standing. Then a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have anything to give as mahr (dowry)?" The man replied, "I have nothing except my waistbelt (shamlah), which I am wearing." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you agree to marry her with what you have from the Quran?" The man said, "Yes, by Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then told him, "Go and search even if it is just an iron ring." So the man went and stayed for as long as Allah willed. Then he returned and said, "I could not find anything, not even an iron ring." The Prophet ﷺ then asked him, "What do you have from the Quran?" The man mentioned certain verses. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "I have married you to her based on what you have from the Quran."

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا فَسَكَتَ فَقَامَتْ حَتَّى رَثَيْنَا لَهَا مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ زَوِّجْنِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «مَا تُصْدِقُهَا؟» قَالَ هَذِهِ الشَّمْلَةَ الَّتِي عَلَيَّ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي غَيْرُهَا قَدْ عَقَدَهَا عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ «أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَرَّسْتَ أَعِنْدَكَ غَيْرُهَا؟» قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» فَذَهَبَ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ مَا وَجَدْتُ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ «مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ؟» قَالَ آيَةُ كَذَا وَآيَةُ كَذَا قَالَ فَقَالَ «فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَ عَلَى مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»

It was narrated that Sahl bin Sa'd said: "I was among the people when a woman said: 'I offer myself (in marriage) to you, O Messenger of Allah, see what you think of me.' A man stood up and said: 'Marry me to her.' He said: 'Go and find (something), even if it is an iron ring.' So he went, but he could not find anything, not even an iron ring. So the Messenger of Allah said: 'Do you have (memorized) any surahs of the Qur'an?' He said: 'Yes.' So he married him to her on the basis of what he knew of surahs of the Qur'an." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3200)

قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ زَوِّجْنِيهَا فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» فَذَهَبَ وَلَمْ يَجِئْ بِشَيْئٍ وَلَا بِخَاتَمٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَعَكَ مِنْ سُوَرِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَزَوَّجَهُ بِمَا مَعَهُ مِنْ سُوَرِ الْقُرْآنِ»

"I was among the people with the Prophet when a woman stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, she has offered herself in marriage to you, so see what you think of her.' He remained silent and the Prophet did not give any answer. Then she stood up (again) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, she has offered herself in marriage to you, so see what you think of her.' A man stood up and said: 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Do you have anything?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Go and look, even if it is just an iron ring.'

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have given you her in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2111)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ فَقَامَتْ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ؟ قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا إِزَارِي هَذَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَهَا إِيَّاهُ جَلَسْتَ لَا إِزَارَ لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا قَالَ الْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَالْتَمَسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا عَلَى مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

[AI] He heard Sahl bin Saad Al-Saadi saying: I was among the people in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ when a woman stood up and said, "I have offered myself to you, so what is your opinion?" A man from the people stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, marry her to me." He did not respond to him. Then another woman stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, she has offered herself to you, so what is your opinion?" The man stood up again and said, "O Messenger of Allah, marry her to me." Then a third woman stood up and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you have anything?" He replied, "No." He said, "Go and search, even if it is a ring made of iron." He went and searched but did not find anything. He said, "Go and search, even if it is for a verse from the Quran." He said, "Yes, Surah so and so, and Surah so and so." He said, "Go, for I have married her to you based on what you have from the Quran, as the words of both of them are equal."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ ؓ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ فِي الْقَوْمِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهَا وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَكَ فَرَ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهَا قَدْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَكَ فَرَ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا ثُمَّ قَامَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ فَذَهَبَ فَطَلَبَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ فَطَلَبَ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَجِدْ شَيْئًا قَالَ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا عَلَى مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ

"عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَوَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَهُ فَصَمَتَ، ثُمَّ عَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَصَمَتَ، فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا قَائِمَةً مَليّا تَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهَا علَيْهِ، وَهُوَ صَامِتٌ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، أَحْسَبُهُ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ: يَارَسُولَ الله إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَزَوِّجْنِيهَا، قَالَ: لَكَ شىْءٌ؟ قَالَ: لاَ وَالله يَارَسُولَ الله، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدِ، فَذَهَبَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ: وَالله مَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ ثَوْبِى هَذَا اشْقُقْهُ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ، مَا فِى ثَوْبِكَ فَضْلًا (*) عَنْكَ، فَهَلْ تَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: مَاذَا؟ قَالَ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَسُورَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: فَقَدْ أَمْلَكْتُكَهَا بما مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَرَأيْتُهُ يَمْضِى وَهِىَ تَتْبَعُهُ".
