English Translation
A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, marry me to such and such woman." He said: "What do you have to give her as a dowry?" He said: "I have nothing." He said: "Whose ring is this?" He said: "Mine." He said: "Then give it to her." He married him, and he married another man on the basis of [teaching her] Surah al-Baqarah, as he had nothing.
