Narrated Sahl: A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said; I have come to present myself to you for marriage. She kept standing for a long period during which period the Prophet ﷺ looked at her carefully. When she stayed for a Long period; a man said to the Prophet ﷺ If you are not in need of her; then marry her to me. The Prophet ﷺ said; Have you got anything to give her as Mahr ? The man said; No. The Prophet said; Go to your house and search for something. The man went and came back to say; By Allah; I could not find anything. The Prophet ﷺ said; Go again and search for something; even if it be an iron ring. He went again and came back saying; No; by Allah; I could not get even an iron ring. The man had only an Izar and had no Rida upper garment. He said; I will give her my Izar as Mahr. On that the Prophet ﷺ said; Your Izar? If she wears it; nothing of it will remain on you; and if you wear it nothing of it will be on her The man went Aasi de and sat down When the Prophet ﷺ saw him leaving after a while ; he called back and asked. How much Quran do you know by heart ? He said; I know such and such Suras; naming some Suras. The Prophet ﷺ said; I marry her to you for the amount of Quran you know by heart.
