Sahl bin Mu'adh bin Anas al-Juhani narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever gives for Allah, withholds for Allah, loves for Allah, hates for Allah and marries for the pleasure of Allah, has perfected his faith." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When someone (comes with a marriage proposal) to you whose character and religion you are satisfied with, then marry (your woman) to him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on the earth and great corruption." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
