"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.' So he went and looked then he came and said: 'I could not find anything, not even an iron ring.' He said: 'Have you memorized anything of the Qur'an?' He said: 'Yes, Surah such-and-such and Surah such-and-such.' He said: 'I will marry you to her on the basis of what you have memorized of the Qur'an.'"

سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَفِي الْقَوْمِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا قَدْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَكَ فَرَأْ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ فَسَكَتَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَىْءٍ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا قَدْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَكَ فَرَأْ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ زَوِّجْنِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَلْ مَعَكَ شَىْءٌ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَذَهَبَ فَطَلَبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَجِدْ شَيْئًا وَلاَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَىْءٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ مَعِي سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا قَالَ قَدْ أَنْكَحْتُكَهَا عَلَى مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and offered herself to him, but he remained silent. She then presented herself to him again, and he remained silent. He said, "I saw her standing or leaning, offering herself to him while he remained silent." A man from the Ansar (helpers) stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you have no need for her, then marry her to me." He said, "Do you have anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Then go and find something, even if it is just a ring made of iron." So the man went and then returned, saying, "By Allah, I did not find anything except for this garment of mine, which is the most precious thing I have between me and her." The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no favor for you in your garment, so have you memorized anything from the Quran?" The man said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What?" The man mentioned a specific chapter. The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have indeed given her away with what you have from the Quran." Then, I saw him walking while she was following him.

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَوَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَهُ فَصَمَتَ ثُمَّ عَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ فَصَمَتَ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا قَائِمَةً مَلِيًّا أَوْ هَوِيًّا تَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ صَامِتٌ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ أَحْسَبُهُ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ فَزَوِّجْنِيهَا فَقَالَ «أَلَكَ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَاذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ ثَوْبِي هَذَا أَشُقُّهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا فِي ثَوْبِكَ فَضْلٌ عَنْكَ فَهَلْ تَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَاذَا؟» قَالَ سُورَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ «فَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَمْضِي وَهِيَ تَتْبَعُهُ

[Machine] 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
