May Allah Almighty have mercy upon him, and forgive us without accountability for his sake.

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Another thing we learn from the account of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ is that the caliph of the time gave preference to taking the righteous and Allah-fearing girl from a poor household as a daughter-in-law, and he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ did not look at whether she was from a wealthy family or not, rather, he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ saw that she had fear of Allah, was pious and righteous, thus, he married his son to her.

Not only did our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمَ الـلّٰـه search for pious partners for themselves, rather, they would encourage others to give preference to good potential suitors who had fear of Allah Almighty.

To whom shall I marry my daughter?

A man came to the well-known Taabi’i, Sayyiduna Hassan Basri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and said, ‘I have a daughter who I love dearly and she has had many proposals, but to whom do you recommend I give her hand in marriage to?’ He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه replied, ‘Marry her to a man who has fear of Allah Almighty, for if such a man loves your daughter, he will honour her, and even if he does not like her, he will not be unjust towards her (due to his fear of Allah Almighty).’ (Sharh-us-Sunnah, vol. 5, p. 9, Hadith 2234)
