قَرَأْتُ عَلَى
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ :
مَالِكٍ ، وَحَدَّثَنَا
إِسْحَاقُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ
أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ
سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ , أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ فَقَامَتْ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ ؟ " فَقَالَ : مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا إِزَارِي هَذَا , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَهَا إِزَارَكَ جَلَسْتَ لَا إِزَارَ لَكَ ، فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا " , فَقَالَ : مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا , فَقَالَ : الْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ , فَالْتَمَسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ ؟ " قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، سُورَةُ كَذَا ، وَسُورَةُ كَذَا لِسُوَرٍ يُسَمِّيهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with the people when a woman came to the court of the Prophet and said, “O Messenger of Allah! I have gifted myself to you, so whatever is your opinion (about me).” (She stood for quite a while.) Then a man stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah! (If you have no need of her) then marry her to me.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply to him, until the woman stood up three times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked that man, “Do you have anything to give her as mahr (dowry)?” He said, “I have nothing.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Go and look for something.” He said, “I have nothing.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Go, even if you find an iron ring, bring that.” He said, “I could not even find an iron ring.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, “Do you know anything of the Qur’an?” He said, “Yes! Such and such surahs.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I have married her to you because of the portions of the Qur’an you know.”
