Hadith text
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi:While I was (sitting) among the people in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a woman stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She has given herself in marriage to you; please give your opinion of her." The Prophet did not give her any reply. She again stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She has given herself (in marriage) to you; so please give your opinion of her. The Prophet (ﷺ) did not give her any reply. She again stood up for the third time and said, "She has given herself in marriage to you: so give your opinion of her." So a man stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Marry her to me." The Prophet asked him, "Have you got anything?" He said, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and search for something, even if it were an iron ring." The man went and searched and then returned saying, "I could not find anything, not even an iron ring." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know something of the Qur'an (by heart)?" He replied, "I know (by heart) such Sura and such Sura." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go! I have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an (by heart)
Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi bataate hain: Jab main logon ke beech Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ki majlis mein (baitha) tha, ek aurat khadi hui aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Usne khud ko aapko nikaah mein de diya hai; barah-e-meharbaani apni raay bataiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne koi jawab nahi diya. Wo dobara khadi hui aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Usne khud ko aapko de diya hai; barah-e-meharbaani apni raay bataiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne phir koi jawab nahi diya. Wo teesri baar khadi hui aur kaha, 'Usne khud ko aapko de diya hai; apni raay bataiye.' To ek aadmi khada hua aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Unka nikaah mujhse kar dijiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne unse pucha, 'Kya tumhaare paas kuch hai?' Usne kaha, 'Nahi.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Jaao aur kuch dhoondho, chaahe wo loha ki anguthi hi ho.' Wo aadmi gaya aur dhoondh kar wapas aaya aur kaha, 'Mujhe kuch nahi mila, loha ki anguthi bhi nahi.' Phir Nabi (SAW) ne pucha, 'Kya tumhein Quran mein se kuch (zabaani) yaad hai?' Usne jawab diya, 'Mujhe falaan Surah aur falaan Surah (zabaani) yaad hai.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Jaao! Maine unka nikaah tumse us Quran ke badle kar diya jo tumhein zabaani yaad hai.'
