English translation

2051. ‘Amr bin Shu‘aib narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that Marṭhad bin Abī Marṭhad Al-Ghanawī would transport captives from Makkah. And there was a prostitute in Makkah by the name of ‘Anāq, who was a friend of his. He narrated: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, (should I) marry 'Anāq?' But he did not say anything. Then, the Verse: And a fornicatress does not marry except a fornicator, or a pagan[1] was revealed, so he called me, recited the Verse to me, and said: 'Do not marry her.'" (Hasan)

2051 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ مَرْثَدَ بْنَ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيَّ كَانَ يَحْمِلُ الْأَسَارَى بِمَكَّةَ، وَكَانَ بِمَكَّةَ بَغِيٌّ يُقَالُ لَهَا: عَنَاقُ وَكَانَتْ صَدِيقَتَهُ، قَالَ: جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنْكِحُ عَنَاقَ؟ قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي، فَنَزَلَتْ: {وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ} [النور: 3] فَدَعَانِي فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيَّ وَقَالَ: «لَا تَنْكِحْهَا»
