3252. It was narrated from Anas that a woman offered herself in marriage to the Prophet ﷺ. The daughter of Anas laughed and said: "How little was her modesty." Anas said: "She was better than you; she offered herself in marriage to the Prophet ﷺ." (Sahih)
3250 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْحُومٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: «أَنَّ امْرَأَةً عَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» فَضَحِكَتِ ابْنَةُ أَنَسٍ، فَقَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: «هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ، عَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

The daughter of Anas ﷺ had, perhaps, not reflected upon the aforementioned Hadīth (3251). Otherwise, making proposal for one's own marriage is not immodesty, especially with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ; who was her legal and lawful guardian in accordance with the rule of the Divine law.
