2111. Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sā'idī narrated that a woman came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I have given myself to you as a gift." She remained standing for a long time, until a man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, marry her to me, if you do not desire her." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do you have any dowry to give her?" He replied: "I have only this Izār of mine." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If you give her your Izār, you will be confined (to your house), having no Izār! So go find something else." He said: "I can't find anything." He replied: "Go find (something), even if it be an iron ring!" So he searched, but could not find anything. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ then said to him: "Do you have anything of the Qur'ān (memorized)?" He replied: "Yes, this Sūrah, and this Sūrah," and others that he named. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have married her to you with what is with you of the Qur'ān." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

2111 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ، فَقَامَتْ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ؟»، فَقَالَ: مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا إِزَارِي هَذَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّكَ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَهَا إِزَارَكَ جَلَسْتَ وَلَا إِزَارَ لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا»، قَالَ: لَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: «فَالْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ»، فَالْتَمَسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَهَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟»، قَالَ: نَعَمْ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا لِسُوَرٍ سَمَّاهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ».
