Hadiths 7.57 and 7.58

7.57:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You were shown to me in a
dream. An angel brought you to me, wrapped in a piece of
silken cloth, and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I removed
the piece of cloth from your face, and there you were. I said
to myself. 'If it is from Allah, then it will surely be.' "

7.58:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:
A woman came to Allah's Apostle and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have come to you to present myself
to you (for marriage)." Allah's Apostle glanced 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 try to find
something." So the man went and returned, saying, "No, by
Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I have not found anything." The
Prophet said, "Go again and look for something, even if it
were an iron ring." He went 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 (upper
garment). 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 have nothing over herself thereof (will be naked);
and if she wears it, then you will have nothing over yourself
thereof ' So the man sat for a long period and then got up (to
leave). When Allah's Apostle saw him leaving, he ordered that
he e called back. When he came, the Prophet asked (him), "How
much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" The man replied, I
know such Sura and such Sura and such Sura," naming the suras.
The Prophet said, "Can you recite it by heart?" He said,
'Yes." The Prophet said, "Go I let you marry her for what you
know of the Qur'an (as her Mahr).
