Hadith 7.24

7.24:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: A woman came to Allah's
Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have come to give you
myself in marriage (without Mahr)." Allah's Apostle looked at
her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her
and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not
say anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If you are not in need of her,
then marry her to me." The Prophet said, "Have you got
anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allah, O Allah's
Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him), "Go to your family and
see if you have something." The man went and returned, saying,
"No, by Allah, I have not found anything." Allah's Apostle
said, "(Go again) and look for something, even if it is an
iron ring." He went again and returned, saying, "No, by Allah,
O Allah's Apostle! I could not find even an iron ring, but
this is my Izar (waist sheet)." He had no rida. He added, "I
give half of it to her." Allah's Apostle said, "What will she
do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will be naked, and if
she wears it, you will be naked." So that man sat down for a
long while and then got up (to depart). When Allah's Apostle
saw him going, he ordered that he be called back. When he
came, the Prophet said, "How much of the Qur'an do you know?"
He said, "I know such Sura and such Sura," counting them. The
Prophet said, "Do you know them by heart?" He replied, "Yes."
The Prophet said, "Go, I marry her to you for that much of the
Qur'an which you have."
