2109. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once saw 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf, may Allāh be pleased with him, with some traces of saffron on him. He asked him: "What is this!?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allāh, I married a lady." He asked: "And what did you give her as dowry?" He replied: "A Nawāh of gold." So he said: "Give a feast, even if it be with one sheep." (Sahīh) Abū Dāwud said: A 'Nawāh' is five Dirhams, and a Nash is twenty, and an Uqiyyah is forty.[1]
2109 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَعَلَيْهِ رَدْعُ زَعْفَرَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَهْيَمْ» فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً، قَالَ: «مَا أَصْدَقْتَهَا؟» قَالَ: وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، قَالَ: «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»
