5135. Narrated Sahl bin S'ad: A woman came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "I present myself (to you) (for marriage)." She stayed for a long while, then a man said, "If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got anything in order to pay her Mahr?" He said, "I have nothing with me except my Izār (waistsheet)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you give her your Izār, you will have no Izār to wear, (so go) and search for something." He said, "I could not find anything." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Try (to find something), even if it were an iron ring." But he was not able to find (even that). The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Have you in your memory something of the Qur'an?" He said, "Yes, such Sūrah and such Sūrah," naming those Sūrah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "We have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an (by heart)."
