Q
What does this narration teach about the cultural norms and perceptions of modesty during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ)?


A

I was with Anas while his daughter was present with him. Anas said, “A woman came to Allah’s
Apostle and presented herself to him, saying, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), have you any need for me (i.e. would
you like to marry me)?’ “Thereupon Anas’s daughter said, “What a shameless lady she was ! Shame!
Shame!” Anas said, “She was better than you; she had a liking for the Prophet (ﷺ) so she presented herself
for marriage to him.”
