5167. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: When 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Auf married an Anṣārī woman, the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "How much Mahr did you give her?" 'Abdur-Rahmān said, "Gold equal to the weight of a date stone." Anas added: When they (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions) arrived at Al-Madīna, the emigrants stayed at the Anṣārī's houses. 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Auf stayed at Sa'd bin Ar-Rabī's house. Sa'd said to 'Abdur-Rahmān, "I will divide and share my property with you and will give one of my two wives to you." 'Abdur-Rahmān said, "May Allāh bless you, your wives and property (I am not in need of that; but kindly show me the way to the market)." So 'Abdur-Rahmān went to the market and traded there gaining a profit of some dried yoghourt and butter, and married (an Anṣārī woman). The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Give a Walima (wedding banquet), even with one sheep."

5167 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ، وَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ: «كَمْ أَصْدَقْتَهَا؟» قَالَ: وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَعَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمُوا المَدِينَةَ، نَزَلَ المُهَاجِرُونَ عَلَى الأَنْصَارِ، فَنَزَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، فَقَالَ: أُقَاسِمُكَ مَالِي، وَأَنْزِلُ لَكَ عَنْ إِحْدَى امْرَأَتَيَّ، قَالَ: بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَبَاعَ وَاشْتَرَى، فَأَصَابَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ، فَتَزَوَّجَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»
