It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! I have gifted myself to you.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked up at her, then lowered his gaze and bowed his head. A companion said: “O Messenger of Allah! If you have no need of this woman, then marry her to me.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do you have anything (to give as a dowry)?” He said: “No.” The Prophet said: “Go and see if you can find anything.” He went and came back saying: “I found nothing.” The Prophet said: “Go, even if it is an iron ring.” He returned and said: “Not even that.” So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What do you know from the Qur’an?” He mentioned a few surahs. The Prophet said: “I have married her to you in exchange for what you know of the Qur’an.”
