53. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Muhammad ibn Qays who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that once a woman of al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah) came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. She came in the house of Hafsah and she was well dressed and groomed. She came to the Messenger of Allah and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, women do not propose for marriage to men. I am unmarried since a long time and I have no children. Are you interested in me? If you are interested I give myself to you as gift if you accept me.’ The Messenger of Allah prayed for her and admired. He (the Messenger of Allah) then said, ‘O sister (in belief) from al-Ansar (people of al- Madinah), may Allah on behalf of His Messenger grant you good recompense. Your men supported me and your women showed interest in me.’ Hafsah then said, ‘How shameless of you and being audacious, and craving for men.’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said to her, ‘Leave her alone, O Hafsah, she is better than you. She has shown interest in the Messenger of Allah and you blame her and consider it a fault.’ He (the Imam) said that he (the Messenger of Allah) said to the woman, ‘You may leave, Allah has granted you kindness and has made paradise obligatory for you because of your showing interest in me and that you love me and want to make me happy. My command will soon come by the will of Allah. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, then revealed this, ‘. . . if a believing woman gifts herself to the prophet and if the prophet wants to marry her then she is for him only and not for the believing men.’ (33:49) He (the Imam) said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, made gifting of a woman herself to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, lawful and it is not lawful for people other than him (the Messenger of Allah).”’
