Musnad Ahmad Hadith 12393

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) sent a marriage proposal for Julaibib (may Allah be pleased with him) to the father of an Ansari woman. He said, "Let me first consult the girl's mother." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Very well." That man went to his wife and mentioned the matter to her. She immediately refused, saying, "By God! Never! Did the Prophet (ﷺ) not find anyone other than Julaibib? We have already refused such and such proposals." Meanwhile, the girl was listening from behind her veil. After mutual consultation, when the man was about to go and inform the Prophet (ﷺ), the girl said, "Will you reject the word of the Prophet (ﷺ)? If the Prophet (ﷺ) is pleased with this, then you should arrange the marriage." By saying this, she opened her parents' eyes, and they said, "You are right." Thus, her father went to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "If you are pleased with this proposal, then we are also pleased." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am pleased." Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) married the girl to Julaibib. After a short time, there was an attack on the people of Madinah. Julaibib also went out mounted. After the battle, people saw that he had been martyred, and around him were several bodies of polytheists whom he had killed single-handedly. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have seen that girl; she was the lady of the most generous household in Madinah."
