Hadith text

Narrated Abu Usaid:We went out with the Prophet (ﷺ) to a garden called Ash-Shaut till we reached two walls between which we sat down. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Sit here," and went in (the garden). The Jauniyya (a lady from Bani Jaun) had been brought and lodged in a house in a date-palm garden in the home of Umaima bint An- Nu`man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was with her. When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon her, he said to her, "Give me yourself (in marriage) as a gift." She said, "Can a princess give herself in marriage to an ordinary man?" The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hand to pat her so that she might become tranquil. She said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought refuge with One Who gives refuge. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came out to us and said, "O Abu Usaid! Give her two white linen dresses to wear and let her go back to her family

Abu Usaid bataate hain: Hum Nabi (SAW) ke saath Ash-Shaut naami ek baagh ki taraf gaye yahaan tak ke hum do deewaaron tak pahunche jinke beech hum baith gaye. Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Yahin baitho,' aur (baagh mein) andar chale gaye. Al-Jauniya (Banu Jaun ki ek khaatoon) ko laaya gaya tha aur Umaima bint An-Nu'man bin Sharahil ke ghar mein khajoor ke baagh mein ek ghar mein thehraaya gaya tha, aur unki dhaai maa unke saath thi. Jab Nabi (SAW) unke paas gaye, to unhone unse kaha, 'Khud ko mujhe (nikaah mein) hiba kar do.' Unhone kaha, 'Kya ek shahzaadi khud ko ek aam aadmi ko nikaah mein de sakti hai?' Nabi (SAW) ne unhein sukoon dilaane ke liye apna haath uthaaya. Unhone kaha, 'Main aapse Allah ki panaah maangti hoon.' Unhone kaha, 'Tumne panaah dene wale (Allah) ki panaah maangi hai.' Phir Nabi (SAW) hamare paas wapas aaye aur kaha, 'Aye Abu Usaid! Unhein do safed sooti kapde do pehanne ke liye aur unhein apne khaandaan ke paas wapas jaane do.'
