Chapter 12 · Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah)فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى { الزَّانِي لاَ يَنْكِحُ إِلاَّ زَانِيَةً }
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ مَرْثَدَ بْنَ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيَّ كَانَ يَحْمِلُ الْأَسَارَى بِمَكَّةَ، وَكَانَ بِمَكَّةَ بَغِيٌّ يُقَالُ لَهَا: عَنَاقُ، وَكَانَتْ صَدِيقَتَهُ، قَالَ: جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنْكِحُ عَنَاقَ ؟ قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي، فَنَزَلَتْ: وَالزَّانِيَةُ لا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ سورة النور آية 3، فَدَعَانِي، فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيَّ، وَقَالَ: لَا تَنْكِحْهَا .

Regarding Allah's Statement: The Fornicatress Does Not Marry Except A Fornicator
Marthad Ibn Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi رضی اللہ عنہ used to take prisoners (of war) from Makkah (to Madina). At Makkah there was a prostitute called Inaq who had illicit relations with him. (Marthad رضی اللہ عنہ said: ) I came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said to him: May I marry Inaq, Messenger of Allah? The narrator said: He kept silence towards me. Then the verse was revealed: . . . . and the adulteress none shall marry save and adulterer or an idolater. He called me and recited this (verse) to me, and said: Do not marry her.
