حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابُورَ الرَّقِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَخُو فُلَيْحٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَثِيمَةَ النَّصْرِيّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا أَتَاكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ خُلُقَهُ وَدِينَهُ ، فَزَوِّجُوهُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوا تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ عَرِيضٌ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah:` that the Messenger of Allah said: "If there comes to you one with whose character and religious commitment you are pleased, then marry (your daughter or female relative under your care) to him, for if you do not do that there will be Fitnah in the land and widespread corruption.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
At the time of arranging a marriage, one should give consideration to morals, character, and religious condition.
The meaning of being compatible (kufu’) is precisely this.
A hadith with this meaning has already been mentioned in Chapter 6 (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1858).
➋
If, apart from religion, things like family status and wealth are given priority, then many pious girls will remain unmarried.
And this will lead to disputes because of not being pious in terms of religion, and this very wealth, beauty, or high family status will become a cause of trouble.
➌
According to some scholars, this narration is hasan (good). (See: Irwa’ al-Ghalil: 6/266, No. 1868, and al-Sahihah, No. 1022)
