Hadith 2111
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 " .
Narrated Sahl bin Saad al-Saeedi: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ asked: Have you anything to give her as dower ? He replied: I have nothing by this lower garment of mine. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ said: Do you know anything from the Quran ? He said: Yes, I know surah so and so, which he named. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have given you her in marriage for the part of the Quran which you know.
Hadith 2112
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَفْصُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، عَنْ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الْبَاهِلِيِّ ، عَنْ عِسْلٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، نَحْوَ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْإِزَارَ وَالْخَاتَمَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا تَحْفَظُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ؟ " قَالَ : سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ ، أَوِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا ، قَالَ : " فَقُمْ ، فَعَلِّمْهَا عِشْرِينَ آيَةً وَهِيَ امْرَأَتُكَ " .
A tradition similar to the one narrated above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators. This version does not mention the lower garment and iron ring. He (the Prophet) said: How much do you memorize from Quran? He said: Surat al-Baqarah or the one that follows it. He said: Stand up and teach her twenty verses: she is your wife.
Hadith 2113
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ،حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ ، نَحْوَ خَبَرِ سَهْلٍ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ مَكْحُولٌ يَقُولُ : لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Makhul has also transmitted a tradition like the one narrated by Sahl (b. Saad al-Saeedi). Makhul used to say: This is not lawful for anyone after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
