3251. Thâbit Al-Bunânî said: "I was with Anas bin Mâlik and a daughter of his was with him. He said: 'A woman came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and offered herself in marriage to him. She said: O Messenger of Allāh, do you want to marry me?'" (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3249 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَرْحُومُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَطَّارُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ثَابِتًا الْبُنَانِيَّ، يَقُولُ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: " جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَكَ فِيَّ حَاجَةٌ "

Commentary

Earlier it has preceded that during the period of emigration (from Makkah to Al-Madinah), some women had no parental or original guardians. Therefore, they were compelled to talk about their marriage themselves. In such conditions, there is nothing blameworthy or objectionable.
