حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو السَّوَّاقُ الْبَلْخِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَعِيدٍ ابْنَيْ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا جَائَکُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَأَنْکِحُوهُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوا تَکُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ کَانَ فِيهِ قَالَ إِذَا جَائَکُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِينَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَأَنْکِحُوهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَأَبُو حَاتِمٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ وَلَا نَعْرِفُ لَهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1085
Abu Hatim Al-Muzani narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you then marry (her to) him. If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land and discord (Fasad). If you do not do so, then there will be turmoil (Fitnah) in the land and discord (Fasad). They said: O Messenger of Allah! What if there was something about him? He said: When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with comes to you then marry him. (And he (pbuh) said this) three times.
