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.”
