Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 12958 — the Prophet ﷺ proposed marriage

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، ثنا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يُقَالُ لَهَا سَوْدَةُ وَكَانَتْ مُصْبِيَةً وَكَانَتْ لَهَا خَمْسَةُ صِبْيَةٍ أَوْ سِتَّةٌ مِنْ بَعْلٍ لَهَا مَاتَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا يَمْنَعُكِ مِنِّي؟» ، قَالَتْ: وَاللهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ أَحَبَّ الْبَرِيَّةِ إِلَيَّ وَلَكِنِّي أُكْرِمُكَ أَنْ تَصْغُوَ هَؤُلَاءِ الصِّبْيَةَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِكَ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيَّةً، قَالَ: «أَمَا يَمْنَعُكِ مِنِّي شَيْءٌ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَتْ: لَا وَاللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَرْحَمُكِ اللهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ نِسَاءٍ رَكِبْنَ أَعْجَازَ الْإِبِلِ صَالِحُ نِسَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ أَحْنَاهُ عَلَى وَلَدٍ فِي صِغَرِهِ، وَأَرْعَاهُ عَلَى بَعْلٍ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِهِ»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed marriage to a woman of his people called Sawdah. She was a widow, and she had five or six children from her late husband. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "What keeps you from me?" She said: By Allah, O Prophet of Allah, nothing keeps me from you except that you are more beloved to me than all creation, but I have regard for your honour, lest these children make noise at your head morning and evening. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there nothing other than this that keeps you from me?" She said: No, by Allah. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "May Allah have mercy on you. The best of the women who ride on the backs of camels are the righteous women of Quraysh: the most tender towards their children in their childhood, and the most protective of their husbands' wealth."
