حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ مَرْثَدَ بْنَ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيَّ كَانَ يَحْمِلُ الْأَسَارَى بِمَكَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ بِمَكَّةَ بَغِيٌّ يُقَالُ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ عَنَاقُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَتْ صَدِيقَتَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْكِحُ عَنَاقَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَزَلَتْ:‏‏‏‏ وَالزَّانِيَةُ لا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ سورة النور آية 3، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَانِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَنْكِحْهَا .

Marthad Ibn Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi رضی اللہ عنہ used to take prisoners (of war) from Makkah (to Madina). At Makkah there was a prostitute called Inaq who had illicit relations with him. (Marthad رضی اللہ عنہ said: ) I came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said to him: May I marry Inaq, Messenger of Allah? The narrator said: He kept silence towards me. Then the verse was revealed: . . . . and the adulteress none shall marry save and adulterer or an idolater. He called me and recited this (verse) to me, and said: Do not marry her.
