I was among the people with the Prophet when a woman stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, she has offered herself in marriage to you, so see what you think of her.' He remained silent and the Prophet did not give any answer. Then she stood up (again) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, she has offered herself in marriage to you, so see what you think of her.' A man stood up and said: 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Do you have anything?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Go and look, even if it is just an iron ring.' So he went and looked then he came and said: 'I could not find anything, not even an iron ring.' He said: 'Have you memorized anything of the Qur'an?' He said: 'Yes, Surah such-and-such and Surah such-and-such.' He said: 'I will marry you to her on the basis of what you have memorized of the Qur'an.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami 'Amr bin Manshur ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abdullah bin Ja'far ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami 'Ubaidullah bin 'Amr dari Zaid dari Adi bin Tsabit dari Yazid bin Al Barra` dari ayahnya ia berkata; saya menjumpai pamanku dan ia membawa bendera kemudian saya berkata; engkau hendak kemana? Lalu ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengutusku kepada seorang laki-laki yang menikahi isteri ayahnya beliau memerintahkanku untuk memenggal lehernya dan mengambil hartanya.
