Sahl bin Saad reported,

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have come to offer myself to you in marriage."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at her, examining her closely from head to foot, then lowered his head. When the woman saw that he had given no decision concerning her, she sat down.A man from among his companions stood up and said, "Messenger of Allah, if you have no need of her, then marry her to me."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you have anything?"The man replied, "No, by Allah, Messenger of Allah."He said, "Go to your family and see if you can find something."The man went and then returned and said, "No, by Allah, I found nothing."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Look, even if it be an iron ring."He went again and returned and said, "No, by Allah, Messenger of Allah, not even an iron ring, but here is my lower garment." Sahl said, He had no upper cloak. "She may have half of it."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What use is your lower garment to her? If you wear it, she will have nothing of it on her, and if she wears it, you will have nothing of it on you."The man sat down, and when he had been sitting for a long time he got up to leave. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him turning away and ordered that he be called back. When he came, the Prophet ﷺ asked, "How much of the Quran do you know?"The man replied, "I know such-and-such surah and such-and-such surah," listing them.He asked, "Can you recite them from memory?"The man said, "Yes."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go, I have given her to you in marriage for what you know of the Quran."

عن سهل بن سعد قال

جاءت امرأة إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقالت: يا رسول الله، جئت أهب لك نفسي. فنظر إليها رسول الله ﷺ فصعد النظر فيها وصوبه، ثم طأطأ رأسه، فلما رأت المرأة أنه لم يقض فيها شيئا جلست، فقام رجل من أصحابه فقال: يا رسول الله! إن لم يكن لك بها حاجة فزوجنيها فقال: هل عندك شيء؟ قال: لا والله يا رسول الله قال: اذهب إلى أهلك فانظر هل تجد شيئا؟ فذهب ثم رجع، فقال: لا والله، ما وجدت شيئا. فقال رسول الله ﷺ: انظر ولو خاتما من حديد، فذهب ثم رجع، فقال: لا والله يا رسول الله ولا خاتما من حديد، ولكن هذا إزاري- قال سهل: ما له رداء- فلها نصفه. فقال رسول الله ﷺ: ما تصنع بإزارك، إن لبسته لم يكن عليها منه شيء، وإن لبسته لم يكن عليك منه شيء. فجلس الرجل حتى إذا طال مجلسه قام، فرآه رسول الله ﷺ موليا، فأمر به فدعي له، فلما جاء، قال: ما معك من القرآن؟ قال: معي سورة كذا، وسورة كذا عددها. فقال: تقرؤهن عن ظهر قلب؟ قال: نعم. قال: اذهب لقد ملكتكها بما معك من القرآن.
