« ስምንትን ዓመታት ልታገለግለኝ እኔ ከእነዚህ ሁለት ሴቶቸ ልጆቼ አንዲቱን ላጋባህ እሻለሁ ፡ ፡ ዐስርን ብትሞላም ከአንተ ነው ፡ ፡ ባንተ ላይ ማስቸገርንም አልሻም ፡ ፡ አላህ የሻ እንደ ኾነ ከመልካሞቹ ሰዎች ኾኜ ታገኘኛለህ » አለው ፡ ፡
He said , “ I wish to give you one of these two daughters of mine in marriage , the bridal money being that you work for me for eight years ; then if you complete ten years , it will be from you ; and I do not wish to put you in hardship ; Allah willing , you will probably find me of the righteous . ”
