5029. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: A lady came to the Prophet ﷺ and declared that she had decided to offer herself to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am not in need of women." A man said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "Please marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Give her a garment (as Mahr)." The man said, "I cannot afford it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give her anything, even if it were an iron ring." The man apologised again. The Prophet ﷺ then asked him, "What do you know by heart of the Qur'an?" He replied, "I know such and such portion of the Qur'an (by heart)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then I marry her to you for that much of the Qur'an which you know by heart."

5029 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةٌ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّهَا قَدْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا لِي فِي النِّسَاءِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ»، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: زَوِّجْنِيهَا، قَالَ: «أَعْطِهَا ثَوْبًا»، قَالَ: لاَ أَجِدُ، قَالَ: «أَعْطِهَا وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ»، فَاعْتَلَّ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ القُرْآنِ؟» قَالَ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: «فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ القُرْآنِ»
