English translation

3282. Saḥl bin Sa'd said: "I was among the people with the Prophet ﷺ when a woman stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, she has offered herself in marriage to you, so see what you think of her.' He remained silent and the Prophet ﷺ did not give any answer. Then she stood up (again) and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, she has offered herself in marriage to you, so see what you think of her.' A man stood up and said: 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allāh!' He said: 'Do you have anything?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Go and look, even if it is just an iron ring.' So he went and looked then he came and said: 'I could not find anything, not even an iron ring.' He said: 'Have you memorized anything of the Qur'ān?' He said: 'Yes, Sūrah such-and-such and Sūrah such-and-such.' He said: 'I marry you to her on the basis of what you have memorized of the Qur'ān.'" (Sahīh)

3280 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَازِمٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، يَقُولُ: إِنِّي لَفِي الْقَوْمِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهَا قَدْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَكَ، فَرَأْ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ، فَسَكَتَ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَتْ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهَا قَدْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لَكَ، فَرَأْ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: زَوِّجْنِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «هَلْ مَعَكَ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ»، فَذَهَبَ فَطَلَبَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ: لَمْ أَجِدْ شَيْئًا، وَلَا خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، قَالَ: «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، مَعِي سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا، قَالَ: «قَدْ أَنْكَحْتُكَهَا عَلَى مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»
