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 " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: Marthad ibn Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi 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 said: ) I came to the Prophet ﷺ 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.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) "Strong and brave": In their pre-Islamic days, they were thieves and bandits. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), considering their habits, appointed them to bring in Muslim prisoners. Radi Allahu anhu wa ardaahu. They performed this service solely for the sake of Allah.
(2) "Hedgehog": In Urdu, it is called "siyah," which defends itself with the spines on its body. The comparison is in coming at night.
(3) "Let me marry": So that there is also veiling (purdah) and the prisoner is also freed. She will also not make noise.
(4) It is understood that a believing person cannot marry an idolatrous (mushrik) adulteress; however, if she becomes Muslim and repents from adultery, then marriage with her is permissible. If a Muslim immoral woman persists in adultery, then it is also not permissible for a righteous believer to marry her. In the case of repentance, there is no harm. She will be called a "zaniyah" (adulteress) only as long as she persists in adultery. If she leaves it and repents, then she is not a zaniyah.
