[Machine] Narrated by Jabir ibn Samurah or a man from the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ : The Prophet ﷺ used to graze sheep, and one day, he asked his partner, Akriya, sister of Khadijah, to go and bring them. When they finished their journey, there was still something remaining, so his partner would go and collect it from the owners and say to Muhammad ﷺ , "Go, as I feel shy to meet them." She once went alone, and they asked her, "Where is Muhammad? Why didn't he come with you?" She replied, "I told him to go, but he felt shy." They said, "We have never seen a man more shy and loyal than him." This incident reached the sister of Khadijah, and she sent for him and said, "Come, ask for my hand in marriage from my father." He replied, "Your father is a rich man, and he does not practice such things." She said, "Go and present your proposal to him, and I will take care of everything." He did as she advised and went to her father, and they got married. In the morning, he sat in a gathering, and they told him, "You have done well by marrying Muhammad." He asked, "Did I?" They answered, "Yes." He stood up, went to his wife, and said, "People are saying that I have married Muhammad, but I did not." She told him, "Do not belittle your opinion. Muhammad is like that." He was pleased with her response, and she sent him twice with a quantity of silver or gold and said, "Buy a necklace and give it to me as a gift, as well as a sheep and so on." He did as she instructed.
