21. Marriage
٢١۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering herself to him. He said, "Sit down." She sat down for a while and he said, "Do you have any need from us?" She said, "Yes, that is, to marry you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the faces of the people and then called a man from among them and said, "Have you anything?" He said, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Go to the women then." So he went to them but did not find anything with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "What portion of the Qur'an do you know?" He said, "I know such and such a surah and such and such a surah," and went on counting them, and the total amounted to twenty verses. He then said, "Go, and teach her those (twenty) verses." (Sahih Muslim 3422)
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا «اجْلِسِي» فَجَلَسَتْ سَاعَةً فَقَالَ «اجْلِسِي بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكَ أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيكِ وَلَكِنْ تُمَلِّكِينِي أَمْرَكِ»؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ فَدَعَا رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُزَوِّجَكَ هَذِهِ إِنْ رَضِيتَ فَقَالَ مَا رَضِيتَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَدْ رَضِيتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ «هَلْ عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ؟» فَقَالَ لَا وَاللهِ قَالَ «فَقُمْ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ» فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِنَّ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عِنْدَهُنَّ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «مَا تَحْفَظُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ؟» قَالَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ أَوِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا قَالَ «فَقُمْ فَعَلِّمْهَا عِشْرِينَ آيَةً وَهِيَ امْرَأَتُكَ»
