Sahih al-Bukhari 5141 (Book 67, Hadith 77) #4923
Marriage Based on Knowledge of the Qur'an

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) married a woman to a man who had nothing to offer but his knowledge of the Qur'an.

Narrated Sahl: A woman came to the Prophet,, and presented herself to him (for marriage). He said, "I am not in need of women these days". Then a man said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Marry her to me". The Prophet asked him, "What have you got?" He said, "I have got nothing". The Prophet said, "Give her something, even an iron ring". He said, "I have got nothing". The Prophet asked (him), "How much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" He said, "So much and so much". The Prophet said, "I have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ 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

QUICK LESSONS:
Seek after knowledge and spiritual qualities.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) married a woman to a man who had nothing to offer but his knowledge of the Qur'an. This shows that knowledge is highly valued and should be sought after by all Muslims. It also shows that marriage should not be based on material possessions or wealth, but rather on spiritual qualities such as knowledge and piety. The Prophet's decision was based on what was best for both parties involved in this situation, and it serves as an example for us today when making decisions about marriage.
