5072. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Auf came (from Makkah to Al-Madīna) and the Prophet ﷺ made a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabī' Al-Anṣārī. Al-Anṣārī had two wives, so he suggested that 'Abdur-Raḥmān take half, his wives and property. 'Abdur-Raḥmān replied, "May Allāh bless you with your wives and property. Kindly show me the market." So 'Abdur-Raḥmān went to the market and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghourt and some butter. After a few days the Prophet ﷺ saw 'Abdur-Rahmān with some yellow stains on his clothes and asked him, "What is that, O 'Abdur-Rahmān?" He replied, "I had married an Anṣārī woman." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "How much Mahr did you give her?" He replied, "The weight of one (date) stone of gold." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Offer a Walima (wedding banquet) even with one sheep."

5072 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ وَعِنْدَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ امْرَأَتَانِ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُنَاصِفَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ، فَقَالَ: بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ، فَأَتَى السُّوقَ فَرَبِحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ، وَشَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ، فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ، فَقَالَ: «مَهْيَمْ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ»، فَقَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ أَنْصَارِيَّةً، قَالَ: «فَمَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟» قَالَ: وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، قَالَ: «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»
