ويقال إنها التي وهبت نفسها للنبي ﷺ وذلك أن خِطبة النبي ﷺ انتهت إليها وهي على بعيرها فقالت البعير وما عليه لله ولرسوله فأنزل الله تبارك وتعالى ﴿ وإمرأة مؤمنة وهبت نفسها للنبي إن أراد النبي أن يستنكحها ﴾ قرآن

السيرة النبوية لإبن هشام ذكر أزواجه ﷺ ميمونة بنت الحارث

It is said that indeed she [Maimunah] is the one who gave herself to the Prophet (SAW), and this came about when the Prophet’s (SAW) marriage agreement to her was finalized while she was riding her camel; she said: The camel and what is on it is for Allah and his Messenger. So Allah Most High and Blessed sent down { And any believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet wishes to seek marital relations from her } [Al-ahzab 50]

Ibn Hisham, Al-sira Al-nabawiya [Biography of the Prophet], Topic section: mention of His (SAW) wives; Maimunah bint Al-Harith
