3229. It was narrated that Ma’qil bin Yasâr said: “A man came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: ‘I have found a woman who is from a good family and of good status, but she does not bear children, should I marry her?’ He told him not to. Then he came to him a second time and he told him not to (marry her). Then he came to him a third time and he told him not to (marry her), then he said: ‘Marry the one who is fertile and loving, for I will boast of your great numbers.’” (Hasan)

3228 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ مَرْثَدَ بْنَ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيَّ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا شَدِيدًا، وَكَانَ يَحْمِلُ الْأُسَارَى مِنْ مَكَّةَ، إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَ: فَدَعَوْتُ رَجُلًا لِأَحْمِلَهُ، وَكَانَ بِمَكَّةَ بَغِيٌّ يُقَالُ لَهَا: عَنَاقُ، وَكَانَتْ صَدِيقَتَهُ، خَرَجَتْ فَرَأَتْ سَوَادِي فِي ظِلِّ الْحَائِطِ، فَقَالَتْ: مَنْ هَذَا مَرْثَدٌ، مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلًا يَا مَرْثَدُ، انْطَلِقِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَبِتْ عِنْدَنَا فِي الرَّحْلِ، قُلْتُ: يَا عَنَاقُ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَرَّمَ الزِّنَا، قَالَتْ: يَا أَهْلَ الْخِيَامِ، هَذَا الدُّلْدُلُ، هَذَا الَّذِي يَحْمِلُ أُسَرَاءَكُمْ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَسَلَكْتُ الْخَنْدَمَةَ، فَطَلَبَنِي ثَمَانِيَةٌ، فَجَاءُوا حَتَّى قَامُوا عَلَى رَأْسِي، فَبَالُوا، فَطَارَ بَوْلُهُمْ عَلَيَّ، وَأَعْمَاهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى صَاحِبِي، فَحَمَلْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ بِهِ إِلَى الْأَرَاكِ، فَكَكْتُ عَنْهُ كَبْلَهُ، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنْكِحُ عَنَاقَ، فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي، فَنَزَلَتْ: {الزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ} [النور: 3]، فَدَعَانِي، فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيَّ وَقَالَ: «لَا تَنْكِحْهَا»

Commentary

‘But she does not bear children’: Certain things become popular. There is no need to investigate. May be a woman does not get her monthly period, or she might have previously married, and she had no children.
