"How little was her modesty." Anas said: "She was better than you; she offered herself in marriage to the Prophet." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3250)
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً عَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَتِ ابْنَةٌ لِأَنَسٍ فَقَالَتْ مَا كَانَ أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ «هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ عَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ»

“We were sitting with Anas bin Mahk, and a daughter of his was with him. Anas said: 'A woman came to the Prophet and offered herself to him. She said: " O Messenger of Allah, do you have any need of me?"' His daughter said: 'How little modesty she had!' He said: 'She was better than you, because she wanted (to marry) the Messenger of Allah, and she offered herself to him. "
أَنَسٌ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِيَّ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ مَا أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا فَقَالَ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ
