[Machine] He heard Sahl bin Sa'd say, "I was with the people by the Prophet's ﷺ when a woman came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have donated myself to you, so see what you think.' A man stood up and said, 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allah, if you have no need for her.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent and then she stood up and said the same thing. The man said, 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allah, if you have no need for her.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man, 'Do you have anything to give her?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Then go and look for something.' So he went and came back saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, I found nothing.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Go and look for something, even if it is an iron ring.' So he went and came back saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, I found nothing, not even an iron ring.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do you have anything from the Quran?' He said, 'Yes, Surah such and such, and Surah such and such.' He said, 'Then go, for I have married her to you with what you have from the Quran.'"

A woman came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have come to give you myself in marriage (without Mahr)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Go to your family and see if you have something." The man went and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, I have not found anything." Allah's Apostle said, "(Go again) and look for something, even if it is an iron ring." He went again and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist sheet)." He had no rida. He added, "I give half of it to her." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What will she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will be naked, and if she wears it, you will be naked." So that man sat down for a long while and then got up (to depart). When Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him going, he ordered that he be called back. When he came, the Prophet ﷺ said, "How much of the Qur'an do you know?" He said, "I know such Sura and such Sura," counting them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you know them by heart?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go, I marry her to you for that much of the Qur'an which you have."

While I was (sitting) among the people in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ a woman stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! She has given herself in marriage to you; please give your opinion of her." The Prophet did not give her any reply. She again stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! She has given herself (in marriage) to you; so please give your opinion of her. The Prophet ﷺ did not give her any reply. She again stood up for the third time and said, "She has given herself in marriage to you: so give your opinion of her." So a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Marry her to me." The Prophet asked him, "Have you got anything?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and search for something, even if it were an iron ring." The man went and searched and then returned saying, "I could not find anything, not even an iron ring." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you know something of the Qur'an (by heart)?" He replied, "I know (by heart) such Sura and such Sura." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go! I have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an (by heart).

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have come to present myself to you (for marriage)." She kept standing for a long period during which period the Prophet ﷺ looked at her carefully. When she stayed for a Long period, a man said to the Prophet ﷺ "If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got anything to give her (as Mahr)?" The man said, "No." The Prophet said, "Go (to your house) and search for something." The man went and came back to say, "By Allah, I could not find anything." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go again and search for something, even if it be an iron ring." He went again and came back saying, "No, by Allah, I could not get even an iron ring." The man had only an Izar and had no Rida' (upper garment). He said, "I will give her my Izar as Mahr." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Your Izar? If she wears it, nothing of it will remain on you, and if you wear it nothing of it will be on her" The man went aside and sat down When the Prophet ﷺ saw him leaving (after a while), he called back and asked. "How much Qur'an do you know (by heart)? He said, 'I know such and such Suras," naming some Suras. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I marry her to you for the amount of Qur'an you know (by heart).

She stood for a long time, and then a man got up and said, "Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need of her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have anything to give her as a bride-price?" He said, "I possess only this lower garment of mine." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you give it to her you will not have a garment to wear so look for something else." He said, "I have nothing else." He said, "Look for something else, even if it is only an iron ring." He looked, and found that he had nothing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know any of the Qur'an?" He said, "Yes. I know such-and-such a sura and such-and-such a sura," which he named. The Messengerof Allah ﷺ said to him, "I have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an."

When she stood for a long time, a man got up and said: Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need for her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Have you anything to give her as dower ? He replied: I have nothing by this lower garment of mine. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you give your lower garment, you will sit while you have no lower garment. So look for something else. He said: I do not find anything. He said: Look for something, even though it should be an iron ring. The man sought it but found nothing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do you know anything from the Qur'an ? He said: Yes, I know surah so and so, which he named. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have given you her in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2111)

[Machine] He said: While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a woman approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I offer myself to you as a gift." He looked at her up and down and straightened himself. Then he remained silent. A man stood up who had nothing on him except for a single garment tied around his neck. He said, "If you don't need her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you have anything to give as a dowry?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then you must find something. Go and look for it." So he went and searched, but he found nothing. He returned and said, "I couldn't find anything." The Prophet ﷺ told him, "Go and search, even if it's just a ring made of iron." So he went and returned, saying, "I couldn't find even a ring made of iron." Then he sat down, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Do you have any part of the Quran with you?" He replied, "Surah such and such and Surah such and such." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have married her to you based on what you have of the Quran."

[Machine] A woman offered herself to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and a man from the people said, "Marry her to me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What do you have?" He said, "I have nothing." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Go, look for something, even if it is just an iron ring." So he went and came back and said, "No, by Allah, I have not found anything, not even an iron ring, but this is my Izaar (waist wrapper) for her. Half of it is for her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "What will you do with your Izaar? If you cover yourself with it, there will be nothing for her from it, and if you let her wear it, there will be nothing for you from it." So the man sat down until his sitting became long. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him or he was sent for, and he asked him, "What portion of the Qur'an do you have?" He said, "I have such and such Surahs." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I have married her to you for what you have of the Qur'an."

"O Messenger of Allah, I have come to offer myself to you (in marriage)." The Messenger of Allah looked her up and down then lowered his head. When the woman saw that he was not saying anything about her, she sat down. A man among his Companions stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, if you do not want to marry her, then marry me to her." He said: "Do you have anything?" He said: "No, by Allah, I do not have anything." He said: "Look, even if it is only an iron ring." He went, then he came back and said: "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, not even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (lower garment)" - Sahl said: "He did not have a Rida' (upper garment)" - "she can have half of it." The Messenger of Allah said: "What could she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will not have any of it, and if she wears it, you will not have any of it." The man sat down for a long time, then he got up, and the Messenger of Allah saw him leaving, so he ordered that he be called back. When he came, he said: "What do you know of the Qur'an?" He said: "I know Surah such-and-such, and Surah such-and-such," and listed them. He said: "Can you recite them by heart?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then I marry you to her on the basis of what you know of the Qur'an." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3339)

[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.
