1085. Abū Ḥātim Al-Muzanī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you then marry (her to) him. If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land and discord (Fasād). If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land and discord (Fasād).”[1] They said: “O Messenger of Allāh! What if there was something about him?”[2] He said: “When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you then marry him.” (And he ﷺ said this) three times. (Da'if) (Abū 'Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb. Abū Ḥātim Al-Muzanī was a Companion, and we do not know of a Hadīth that he narrated from the Prophet ﷺ other than this.

Arabic text

١٠٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو السَّوَّاقُ الْبَلْخِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدٍ ‌وَسَعِيدٍ ابْنَيْ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَاتِمٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ» فَأَنْكِحُوهُ، إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوا تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَأَنْكِحُوهُ - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَأَبُو حَاتِمٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، وَلَا نَعْرِفُ لَهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ.

Commentary

A Muslim should prefer a religious minded lady for marriage and a Muslim lady should also prefer the same in a Muslim man.
