Sahl bin Saad reported,

A woman offered herself in marriage to the Prophet ﷺ, and a man said to him, "Messenger of Allah, marry her to me."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What do you have?"The man replied, "I have nothing."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and look for something, even if it be a ring of iron."He went and then returned, saying, "By Allah, I found nothing, not even a ring of iron, but here is my lower garment, half of it can be hers."Sahl said, He had no upper garment.The Prophet ﷺ said, "What would she do with your lower garment? If you wore it, she would have nothing of it on her, and if she wore it, you would have nothing of it on you."The man sat down, and after sitting for a long while he got up. The Prophet ﷺ saw him and called him, or had him called, and asked him, "How much of the Quran do you know?"He said, "I know such and such surah, and such and such surah," listing them.The Prophet ﷺ said, "We have given her to you in marriage for what you have of the Quran."

عن سهل بن سعد

إن امرأة عرضت نفسها على النبي ﷺ، فقال له رجل: يا رسول الله، زوجنيها، فقال: ما عندك؟ فقال: ما عند شيء قال: اذهب فالتمس ولو خاتما من حديد، فذهب ثم رجع فقال: لا والله ما وجدت شيئا ولا خاتما من حديد، ولكن هذا إزاري ولها نصفه. قال سهل: وماله رداء فقال النبي ﷺ: وما تصنع بإزارك؟ إن لبسته لم يكن عليها منه شيء، وإن لبسته لم يكن عليك منه شيء. فجلس الرجل حتى إذا طال مجلسه قام، فرآه النبي ﷺ فدعاه- أو دعي له-فقال له: ماذا معك من القرآن؟ فقال معى سورة كذا- وسورة كذا لسور- يعددها فقال النبي ﷺ أملكناكها بما معك من القرآن.
