It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: “Indeed, I have gifted myself to you,” and she stood for a long time. Then a man stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Marry her to me if you have no need of her.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do you have anything to give her as a dowry?” The man replied: “I have nothing except this lower garment.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If you give her your lower garment, you will be left without a lower garment. Look for something else.” He said: “I find nothing.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Look, even if it is an iron ring.” He searched but found nothing. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “Do you know any portion of the Qur’an by heart?” He replied: “Yes, I know such and such surahs,” and he mentioned several surahs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I have married her to you for the portion of the Qur’an that you know by heart.”
