حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابُورَ الرَّقِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَخُو فُلَيْحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ ابْنِ وَثِيمَةَ النَّصْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَاکُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ خُلُقَهُ وَدِينَهُ فَزَوِّجُوهُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوا تَکُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ عَرِيضٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1967
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "If there comes to you one with whose character and religious commitment you are pleased, then marry (your daughter or female relative under your care) to him, for if you do not do that there will be Fitnah in the land and widespread corruption.” (Daif)
