Marrying a Woman for Her Books
The great Imām, the renowned scholar of the East, the master of ḥuffādh in his era—known for his mastery of ḥadīth, fiqh, memorisation, truthfulness, piety, and asceticism—Isḥāq ibn Rāhwayh…
He married a widow because her deceased husband had possessed the books of Imām Ash-Shāfi‘ī.
When asked, “What prompted you to do this?”
He replied: “A woman is married for her books!”
[As-Siyar, Adh-Dhahabī, vol. 10, p. 70]
