Sunan Ibn Majah 1866

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ امْرَأَةً أَخْطُبُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُؤْدَمَ بَيْنَكُمَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَطَبْتُهَا إِلَى أَبَوَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَخْبَرْتُهُمَا بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَأَنَّهُمَا كَرِهَا ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَهِيَ فِي خِدْرِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ فَانْظُرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِلَّا فَإِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ كَأَنَّهَا أَعْظَمَتْ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَ مِنْ مُوَافَقَتِهَا.

It was narrated that: Mughirah bin Shubah said: “I came to the Prophet and told him of a woman to whom I had to propose marriage. He said: 'Go and look at her, for that is more likely to create love between you.' So I went to a woman among the Ansar and proposed marriage through her parents. I told them what the Prophet had said, and it was as if they did not like that. Then I heard that woman, behind her curtain, say: 'If the Messenger of Allah has told you to do that, then do it, otherwise I adjure you by Allah (not to do so)'. And it was as if she regarded that as a serious matter. So I looked at her and married her.” And he mentioned how well he got along with her.
