A woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have come to you to present myself
to you (for marriage)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) glanced at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance
on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she sat down. A
man from his companions got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If you are not in need of her, then
marry her to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Have you got anything to offer." The man said, 'No, by Allah, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Go to your family and try to find something." So the
man went and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have not found anything." The
Prophet said, "Go again and look for something, even if it were an iron ring." He went and returned,
saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist
sheet).' He had no Rida (upper garment). He added, "I give half of it to her." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said
"What will she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will have nothing over herself thereof (will be
naked); and if she wears it, then you will have nothing over yourself thereof ' So the man sat for a long
period and then got up (to leave). When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him leaving, he ordered that he e called
back. When he came, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked (him), "How much of the Quran do you know (by heart)?"
The man replied, I know such Sura and such Sura and such Sura," naming the suras. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Can you recite it by heart?" He said, 'Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go I let you marry her for what you
know of the Quran (as her Mahr).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 67, Hadith 62
my companion went to the mosque before me. I went there after him and sat beside him. He asked me: Did you hear the preaching of AbuRayhanah? I said: No. He said: I heard him say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade ten things: Sharpening the ends of the teeth, tattooing, plucking hair, men sleeping together without an under garment, women sleeping together without an under-garment, men putting silk at the hem of their garments like the Persians, or putting silk on their shoulders like the Persians, plundering, riding on panther skins, wearing signet rings, except in the case of one in authority.
Abu Dawud said: The solitary point in this tradition (not supported by other traditions) is the report about the signet-ring.
