Which sahabi asked permission from Prophet(pbuh) to marry a prostitute & Qur’an verse revealed ?
Ans: Marthad bin Abi Marthad(r.a)
“A male fornicator would only marry a female fornicator or idolatress. And a female fornicator would only be married to a fornicator or idolater. This is ˹all˺ forbidden to the believers.”[Al-Qur’an ch 24 verse 3]
Narrated
'Amr bin Shu'aib: from his father, from his grandfather, who said There was a
man named Marthad bin Abi Marthad, and he was a man who would carry captives
from Makkah to Al-Madinah. He said: And there was a prostitute woman in Makkah
called 'Anaq, who was a friend of his. He had promised a man from the captives
of Makkah that he would transport him, and he said: 'So I came until I reached
one of the walls of Makkah on a moon-lit night.' He said 'Anaq came along and
she saw the darkness of my shadow next to the wall. When she reached me she
recognized me and said: Marthad? So I replied: (Yes it is) Marthad. She said:
Welcome, come and spend the night with us. I said: O 'Anaq! Allah has made
illicit sexual relations unlawful. So she said: O people of the tents! That is
the man who takes your captives away! He said: Eight people followed me, and I
went through the passes of Al-Khandamah. I stopped at a cave and entered it.
They came until they stood over my head, and they began urinating, their urine
falling on my head. Yet Allah made them unable to see me. He said: 'Then I went
back. I returned to my companion to transport him - and he was a heavy man -
until I reached Al-Idhkir. There I removed his shackles to make him easier to
carry, since he was exhausting me, until I arrived at Al-Madinah. I went to the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I said O Messenger of Allah! May I
marry 'Anaq? [I said this, two times] but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was
silent, and he did not reply to me at all until (the following) was revealed:
The Zani marries not but a Zaniyah or a Mushrikah; and the Zaniyah, none
marries her except a Zani or a Mushrik (24:3). So do not marry her.'
