3781. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: When 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Aūf came to us, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ made a bond of brotherhood (fraternity) between him and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabī' who was a rich man. Sa'd said, "The Anşār know that I am the richest of all of them, so I will divide my property into two parts between me and you, and I have two wives; see which of the two you like so that I may divorce her and you can marry her after she becomes lawful to you, by passing her Ydda (the prescribed period of divorce).” ‘Abdur Rahmān said, “May Allāh bless your family (i.e., wives) for you.” (But ‘Abdur-Rahmān went to the market) and did not return on that day except with some gain of dried yoghurt and butter. He went on trading just a few days till he came to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ bearing the traces of yellow scent over his clothes. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked him, “What is this scent?” He replied, “I have married a woman from the Anşār.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked, “How much Mahr have you given to her?” He said, “A date-stone weight of gold or a golden date-stone.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Give a Walima (marriage banquet party), even with a sheep.”

3781 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، وَآخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، وَكَانَ كَثِيرَ المَالِ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: قَدْ عَلِمَتِ الأَنْصَارُ أَنِّي مِنْ أَكْثَرِهَا مَالًا، سَأَقْسِمُ مَالِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ شَطْرَيْنِ، وَلِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَعْجَبَهُمَا إِلَيْكَ فَأُطَلِّقُهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا حَلَّتْ تَزَوَّجْتَهَا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ يَوْمَئِذٍ حَتَّى أَفْضَلَ شَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ وَأَقِطٍ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ، وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَهْيَمْ». قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ «مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟». قَالَ: وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، أَوْ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَقَالَ: «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»
