حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَتْ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا إِزَارِي هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكَ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَهَا إِزَارَكَ جَلَسْتَ وَلَا إِزَارَ لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَالْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَالْتَمَسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ فَهَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لِسُوَرٍ سَمَّاهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ .

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said: Messenger of Allah, I have offered myself to you. When she stood for a long time, a man got up and said: Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need for her. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked: Have you anything to give her as dower ? He replied: I have nothing by this lower garment of mine. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If you give your lower garment, you will sit while you have no lower garment. So look for something else. He said: I do not find anything. He said: Look for something, even though it should be an iron ring. The man sought it but found nothing. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do you know anything from the Quran ? He said: Yes, I know surah so and so, which he named. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: I have given you her in marriage for the part of the Quran which you know.
