Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5917 — A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and offered

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and offered herself to him in marriage, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. She kept standing until we felt pity for her because of how long she had been standing. Then a man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Marry her to me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What will you give her as dowry (mahr)?" He said: This sheet that is on me; I have nothing besides it. He had tied that sheet around his chest. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me, if you marry, will you have anything besides it?" He said: No, by Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and look for something, even if it is only an iron ring." He went and stayed away for as long as Allah willed, then came back and said: I could not even find an iron ring. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you know of the Qur'an?" He said: Such-and-such verses. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have married her to you for what you have of the Qur'an."
