Marriage with Knowledge of the Qur'an

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) agreed to marry a woman to one of his companions who had nothing but knowledge of the Qur'an.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: While we were sitting in the company of the Prophet a woman came to him and presented herself (for marriage) to him. The Prophet looked at her, lowering his eyes and raising them, but did not give a reply. One of his companions said, "Marry her to me O Allah's Messenger !" The Prophet asked (him), "Have you got anything?" He said, "I have got nothing". The Prophet said, "Not even an iron ring?" He Sa'd, "Not even an iron ring, but I will tear my garment into two halves and give her one half and keep the other half". The Prophet; said, "No. Do you know some of the Qur'an (by heart)?" He said, "Yes". The Prophet said, "Go, I have agreed to marry her to you with what you know of the Qur'an (as her Mahr)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ جُلُوسًا فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ تَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ فَخَفَّضَ فِيهَا النَّظَرَ وَرَفَعَهُ فَلَمْ يُرِدْهَا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَعِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مِنْ شَىْءٍ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَلاَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَلاَ خَاتَمًا مِنَ حَدِيدٍ وَلَكِنْ أَشُقُّ بُرْدَتِي هَذِهِ فَأُعْطِيهَا النِّصْفَ، وَآخُذُ النِّصْفَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ، هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَىْءٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about marriage and how it can be done even if one has no material possessions. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ agreed to marry a woman to one of his companions, Sahl bin Sa'd, who had nothing but knowledge of the Qur’an. This shows that knowledge is more valuable than material possessions and should be valued highly in society. It also teaches us that marriage should not be based on wealth or status, but rather on mutual respect and understanding between two people. Furthermore, it encourages us to learn and understand the teachings of the Quran as it is an invaluable source of guidance for our lives.
