Sunan Ibn Majah 2001 (Book 9, Hadith 157) #31353
Offering Oneself to the Prophet

SUMMARY: A woman offered herself to the Prophet and his daughter commented on her lack of modesty. The Prophet responded that she was better than his daughter because she wanted to marry him.

Thabit said: "We were sitting with Anas bin Mahk, and a daughter of his was with him. Anas said: 'A woman came to the Prophet and offered herself to him. She said: " O Messenger of Allah, do you have any need of me?"' His daughter said: 'How little modesty she had!' He said: 'She was better than you, because she wanted (to marry) the Messenger of Allah, and she offered herself to him".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْحُومُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ فَعَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِيَّ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ مَا أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَعَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ

This hadith teaches us several values such as respect for the Prophet ﷺ, modesty, and marriage being an honorable act if done with proper intentions. It also shows us how we should respond when someone speaks ill of another person; instead of getting angry or retaliating with harsh words, we should respond calmly and explain why what they said is wrong in a respectful manner. We can also learn from this hadith that it is important for us to think before we speak so as not to hurt anyone's feelings or say something inappropriate without thinking about it first.
