A Woman offers Herself as a Gift to a Man

4- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي امْرَأَةٍ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِرَجُلٍ أَوْ وَهَبَهَا لَهُ وَلِيُّهَا فَقَالَ لا إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَلَيْسَ لِغَيْرِهِ إِلا أَنْ يُعَوِّضَهَا شَيْئاً قَلَّ أَوْ كَثُرَ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain persons of his people from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “About the case of a woman who gifts herself or her guardian gifts her to a man, abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘No, it was only for the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and not for others unless it is in exchange for something, little or more.’”
