Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:A woman presented herself to the Prophet (for marriage). A man said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (If you are not in need of her) marry her to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What have you got?" The man said, "I have nothing." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Go and search for something) even if it were an iron ring." The man went and returned saying, "No, I have not found anything, not even an iron ring; but this is my (Izar) waist sheet, and half of it is for her." He had no Rida' (upper garment). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What will she do with your waist sheet? If you wear it, she will have nothing over her; and if she wears it, you will have nothing over you." So the man sat down and when he had sat a long time, he got up (to leave). When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw him (leaving), he called him back, or the man was called (for him), and he said to the man, "How much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" The man replied I know such Sura and such Sura (by heart)," naming the Suras The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an

Sahl bin Sa'd bataate hain: Ek aurat ne khud ko Nabi (SAW) ko (nikaah ke liye) pesh kiya. Ek shaks ne unse kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! (Agar aapko unki zaroorat nahi) to unka nikaah mujhse kar dijiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne pucha, 'Tumhaare paas kya hai?' Us shaks ne kaha, 'Mere paas kuch nahi hai.' Nabi (SAW) ne (usse) kaha, 'Jaao aur kuch dhoondho, chaahe wo loha ki ek anguthi hi ho.' Wo aadmi gaya aur wapas aakar kaha, 'Nahi, mujhe kuch nahi mila, loha ki anguthi bhi nahi, magar ye meri (Izar) kamar ki chaadar hai, iska aadha unke liye hai.' Uske paas Rida (upar ka kapda) nahi tha. Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Wo tumhaari kamar ki chaadar ka kya karegi? Agar tum ise pehno, to unke badan par kuch nahi hoga, aur agar wo ise pehne, to tumhaare badan par kuch nahi hoga.' To wo aadmi baith gaya, aur kaafi der baithne ke baad, wo uthaa (jaane ke liye). Jab Nabi (SAW) ne use (jaate) dekha, to unhone use wapas bulaaya, ya use bulaaya gaya, aur unhone us aadmi se kaha, 'Tumhein Quran mein se kitna (zabaani) yaad hai?' Us aadmi ne jawab diya, 'Mujhe falaan Surah aur falaan Surah (zabaani) yaad hai,' Surahon ke naam lete hue. Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Maine unka nikaah tumse us Quran ke badle kar diya jo tumhein yaad hai.'
