Hadith 5120
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْحُومُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ثَابِتًا الْبُنَانِيَّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَنَسٍ وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : " جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَكَ بِي حَاجَةٌ ، فَقَالَتْ بِنْتُ أَنَسٍ : مَا أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا وَا سَوْأَتَاهْ وَا سَوْأَتَاهْ ، قَالَ : هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا " .
Narrated Thabit Al-Banani: I was with Anas while his daughter was present with him. Anas said, "A woman came to Allah's Apostle and presented herself to him, saying, 'O Allah's Apostle, have you any need for me (i.e. would you like to marry me)?' "Thereupon Anas's daughter said, "What a shameless lady she was ! Shame! Shame!" Anas said, "She was better than you; she had a liking for the Prophet so she presented herself for marriage to him."
