Volume 7, Book 63, Number 182:
Narrated Abu Usaid:
We went out with the Prophet to a garden called Ash-Shaut till we reached two walls between
which we sat down. The Prophet 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 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 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 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.” Narrated Sahl and Abu Usaid: The Prophet mar –
ried Umaima bint Sharahil, and when she was brought to him, he stretched his hand towards her. It
seemed that she disliked that, whereupon the Prophet ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her and to
provide her with two white linen dresses. (See Hadith No. 541).
