One of the early Muslims entered a field, and he was hungry and tired, and so he wanted to eat, as his stomach was 'rumbling'.
His eyes went to the trees, so he saw an apple, and reached for it, then he ate half of it under the protection of Allah, and he drank from the lake near the field. After that, he realised that he was not aware of what he was doing due to his hunger, and said to himself: "Woe to you! How do you eat from someone else’s goods without permission", so he swore that he would not leave the place until he finds the owner of the field, and asks him to make what he had eat from him permissible, so he looked around until he found a door and knocked on it.
The owner came out and asked him about what he wants. He said: "I entered your garden, that is next to the garden, and took this apple and eat half of it, then I remembered it is not mine, and I want you to excuse me and forgive me for this mistake", so the man said, "I wont forgive you, nor allow you ever, except with one condition?" So he said (and he is Thaabit bin Nu'maan), "What is this condition?" The man said: "To marry my daughter". He said: "I'll marry her". The man then said: "But my daughter is blind and cannot see, dumb and cannot speak, deaf and cannot hear"
So Thaabit bin Nu'maan began thinking and considering - what a disaster - what's he going to do? Then he remembered that the tribulation he has got by having this woman, and taking care of her and serving her is better than to eat from the food (sadeed) of hellfire due to what he ate from that apple, and he remembered that his days in the dunya are numbered. So he accepted marrying her, and he wished for the reward from Allah, the Lord of the universe.
The day of marriage came, and Thaabit bin Nu'maan was very worried: "How will I enter upon a woman who doesn't speak, or see, or hear?!" So he felt confused and in a dilemma, and wished that the earth swallows him before that happens (i.e. he goes to her), but he relied upon Allah and said: "Laa Hawla wa laa quwata illa billah, wa inna lilah wa inna ilayhi raji'oon".
So he went to her, and as soon as he entered, she stood up and said to him "assalamu 'alayk wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh".
When he saw her, he remembered what he had imagined of the hoor il-'ayn in paradise. After remaning a bit quiet, he said: "What is this?" She hears, sees, and speaks, and so he informed her what her father had to told him.
She replied: "My father spoke the truth and didn't lie".
"How is it true?".
She replied, "My father said I am dumb, because I have never said a word of haraam, nor have I ever spoken to a man whom it is not permissable to speak to... He said i am deaf, because I have never sat it in a place of backbiting and gossip or tale-telling... He said I am blind because I have never looked at a man who was not permissable for me"

A women like this is what guys want. Consider this story and that from these two pious individuals An-Nu'maan ibn Thaabit, also known as Imam Abu Hanifa, was produced.
