I’ll give her all she wants

 I’ll give her all she wants

A man came to Maymûn b. Mahrân – Allah be please with him – to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
Maymûn said, “I do not approve of her for you.” The man asked, “Why?” He replied, “Because she loves jewelry and garments.” To this the man said, “Well I have as much of those as she desires.” Maymûn said, “Now I don’t approve of you for her.”

Al-Dhahabî Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ` in his biography of Maymûn b. Mahrân
