[Machine] "When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you, then marry them. If you do not do so, there will be corruption and great mischief on earth." In another narration, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, even if he has defects?" He replied, "If someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you, then marry them." This was narrated three times by Abu Hatim Al-Muzani, who had companionship with him. A similar narration is also mentioned from Asma bint Abi Bakr, who said, "Marriage is nothing but honor. So look carefully where your honor lies." This narration is reported as "marfu'" (i.e. directly attributed to the Prophet), and the "mawquf" (i.e. attributed to a Companion) version is considered more authentic. And Allah, the Most Exalted, knows best.  

اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَأَنْكِحُوهُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِيرٌ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ عَرِيضٌ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ قَالَ إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَأَنْكِحُوهُ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ قَالَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا النِّكَاحُ رِقٌّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَيْنَ يَرِقُّ عَتِيقَتَهُ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ مَرْفُوعًا وَالْمَوْقُوفُ أَصَحُّ وَاللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَعْلَمُ
