Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When one of you proposes marriage to a woman, if he is able, he should look at that which causes him to marry her. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I proposed marriage to a girl from Banu Salamah, and I used to hide behind the date-palm leaves to look at her, until I saw that which caused me to marry her, then I married her.
