Anas ibn Maalik narrated:

“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, went to ask for the hand of a girl from the Ansaar for Julaybeeb (an extremely poor Companion). The man requested time to consult her mother. The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Alright, then do so.” They went home and told his wife, to which she said: “No by Allah, did the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, find no one else to ask for her hand for other than Julaybeeb!” Their daughter was behind the screen and heard their conversation. The father got up to go and inform the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, of their reply, but the girl came out and said to her parents, “Do you want to turn down the request of the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam? If he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, ac- cepted this (man) for us, then marry me off to him.” It was as if she woke her parents up from heedlessness and they imme- diately said: “You are right.” Her father went to the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and said: “Since you are satisfied with this man as a husband for our daughter, then we accept him.”The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Yes, I am satisfied with him as a husband for her, so marry her off to him.”

Then a battle took place and Julaybeeb was amongst the Muslims who fought, and people found him martyred at the end of the battle. Anas ibn Maalik said: “I saw her (Julaybeeb’s widow) after that, and she was one of the richest ladies in Madinah.”1
