(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، عَنْ وَاقِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا خَطَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ الْمَرْأَةَ ، فَإِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ مِنْهَا إِلَى مَا يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى نِكَاحِهَا فَلْيَفْعَلْ " ، قَالَ : فَخَطَبْتُ جَارِيَةً مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ ، فَكُنْتُ أَخْتَبِئُ لَهَا تَحْتَ الْكَرَبِ ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ مِنْهَا بَعْضَ مَا دَعَانِي إِلَى نِكَاحِهَا ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When one of you sends a proposal to a woman for marriage, and it is possible for him to see in her that quality because of which he wishes to marry her, then he should do so. Accordingly, I sent a marriage proposal to a girl from Banu Salamah, so I looked at her secretly from behind the branches of a tree until I saw in her that quality because of which I wished to marry her, so I married her.
