أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا فَقَالَ مَا لِي الْيَوْمَ فِي النِّسَاءِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا قَالَ مَا عِنْدَكَ قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي شَىْءٌ قَالَ أَعْطِهَا وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي شَىْءٌ قَالَ فَمَا عِنْدَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ عِنْدِي كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
