Sunan Ibn Majah 1889 (Book 9, Hadith 45) #31241
Marriage Without Dowry

SUMMARY: The Prophet encouraged a man to marry a woman, even if he could not afford to give her anything in return.

It was narrated that: Sahl bin Sa'd said: "A woman came to the Prophet and he said: 'Who will marry her ?' A man said: 'I will'. The Prophet said: 'Give her something, even if it is an iron ring'. He said: 'I do not have one'. He said: 'I marry her to you for what you know of the Quran'."
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ أَعْطِهَا وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ مَعِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا عَلَى مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

Respect and Kindness towards others when getting married

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of marriage and how it should be done without any dowry or expensive gifts. The Prophet Muhammad encouraged a man to marry a woman, even if he could not afford to give her anything in return. He suggested that the man should offer an iron ring as payment for the marriage, which was very inexpensive at that time. This hadith teaches us that marriage is important and should be done with respect and kindness, regardless of financial status or material possessions. It also shows us that we can still show our love for someone without having to spend money on them.
