Hadith 6860

عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَالِسًا وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِيَّ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ مَا كَانَ أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا فَقَالَ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا
Thabit Banani says: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and one of his daughters was also present with him. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A woman came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you have a desire to marry me? Sayyiduna Anas’s (may Allah be pleased with him) daughter said that the woman had so little modesty. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O daughter! She was better than you, because she expressed her desire regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and presented herself to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Subhan Allah! This woman chose for herself a personality as great as Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

The summary of this chapter is that whether someone desires a daughter or a son, the priority for each should be religiosity (deen-dari).
