Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a proposal of marriage on behalf of Sayyiduna Julaybib (may Allah be pleased with him) to the father of a woman from the Ansar. The man said: "Let me consult the girl's mother." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Very well." Then the man went to his wife and mentioned this to her. The woman said: "No! By Allah! That cannot be. Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) find no one but Julaybib? Yet we have already refused proposals from so-and-so and so-and-so." The narrator says: The girl was behind the curtain, listening to these words. The narrator says: When the man was about to go to tell the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, the girl said: "Do you intend to turn back the decision of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is pleased with this match for you, then marry me to him." The narrator says: It was as if the girl had lifted a veil from before her parents. The two of them said: "You are right." Then the girl's father went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "If you are pleased with him, then we are also pleased with him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am pleased with him." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married him to that woman. Then there was a battle; Sayyiduna Julaybib (may Allah be pleased with him) rode out, and the people found that he had been martyred, and around him were some of the polytheists whom he had killed. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw that woman, and she was the most generous-spending (that is, the most prosperous) of the widows of Madinah.
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, except that he reported these words: "It was as if that woman had untied her parents' ropes." The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
