[3487] 76 – (1425) It was (t''o)—V [tAv] narrated that Sahi bin Sa'd As- Sâ'idI said: "A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ç and said: '0 Messenger of Allah 4t , I have come to give myself to you (in marriage).' The Messenger of 'r Allah looked her up and :Zi down, then the Messenger of Allah jW lowered his head. When the woman saw that he had not :3 made any decision about her, she sat down. A man among his Companions stood up and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, if you have no need of her then many her to me.' He said: 'Do you have anything?' He said: 'No, by Allah, 0 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Go to your family and see if you can find something.' So he went, then he came back and said: 'No, by Allah, 0 Messenger of Allah, not even a ring of iron, :JU J.i)) :JU only this Izâr (lower garment) of mine" – Sahi said: "He did not :JLi !4 J !4n have a Ridâ' (upper garment) – 'and she may have half of it.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'What will she do with your Izâr? If you wear it she will not have J anything of it and if she wears it you will not have anything of it.' ) 40 1 The man sat down, and after he !4fl :Ji had sat for a long time, he got up (to leave). The Messenger of !4t 3 Allah saw him turning away, and he ordered that he be called to him. When he came, he said: — JJL JUl .kL jj – 'What do you know of the Qur'ân?' He said: 'I know Sarah such-and-such and Sarah such- and-such' – and he listed them. He said: 'Do you recite them by heart?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Go. You have been given her (in marriage) for what you know of the Qur'ân." This is the HadIth of Ibn AbI Hâzim (a narrator), and the IjadILh of Ya'qüb (another narrator) is very similar in wording.
