Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:A lady came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and declared that she had decided to offer herself to Allah and His Apostle. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am not in need of women."

Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Mujhe auraton ki koi zaroorat nahi.' Ek shaks ne kaha, '(Nabi se) Meherbaani karke unka nikaah mujhse kar dijiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne (usse) kaha, 'Unhein koi kapda do.' Us aadmi ne kaha, 'Mere paas itna nahi hai.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Kuch bhi do, chaahe wo loha ki ek anguthi hi ho.' Us aadmi ne phir mazrat pesh ki. Nabi (SAW) ne phir usse pucha, 'Tumhein Quran mein se kya zabaani yaad hai?' Usne jawab diya, 'Mujhe falaan falaan hissa (zabaani) yaad hai.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'To main unka nikaah tumse us Quran ke badle kar deta hoon jo tumhein zabaani yaad hai.'
