5120. Narrated Thābit Al-Bunānī: I was with Anas while his daughter was present with him. Anas said, "A woman came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and presented herself to him, saying, 'O Allāh's Messenger, have you any need for me (i.e. would you like to marry me)?'" Thereupon Anas' daughter said, "What a shameless lady she was! Shame! Shame!" Anas said, "She was better than you; she had a liking for the Prophet ﷺ so she presented herself for marriage to him."
5120 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْحُومُ بْنُ عَبْدِ العَزِيزِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ثَابِتًا البُنَانِيَّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَنَسٍ وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا، قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَكَ بِي حَاجَةٌ؟ " فَقَالَتْ بِنْتُ أَنَسٍ: مَا أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا، وَا سَوْأَتَاهْ وَا سَوْأَتَاهْ، قَالَ: «هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ، رَغِبَتْ فِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا»
