The hadith of the woman who gave herself in marriage, in which the man said: “Marry me to her if you have no desire for her.” Does this not contain the acceptance preceding the offer?

The questioner : Regarding the student, regarding the precedence mentioned in the hadith... when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Marry me to her if you have no desire for her,” here the acceptance preceded the offer. Does this contradict what we mentioned?

The Shaykh : No, because the Messenger said and the man accepted, because there was no offer initially, as the man had gone and was seeking a dowry and looking around.
