[3486] 75 - (...) It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I have married a woman from among the Anṣār.' The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Did you look at her? For there is something in the eyes of the Anṣār.' He said: 'I looked at her.' He said: 'For how much did you marry her?' He said: 'For four Uqiyah.' The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'For four Uqiyah? It is as if you are going to dig the silver out from the side of this mountain. We do not have anything to give you, but perhaps we will send you on an expedition and you will get something from it.' And he sent an expedition to Banū 'Abs, and he sent that man with them."

75 - (1424) وحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ نَظَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟ فَإِنَّ فِي عُيُونِ الْأَنْصَارِ شَيْئًا» قَالَ: قَدْ نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا، قَالَ: «عَلَى كَمْ تَزَوَّجْتَهَا؟» قَالَ: عَلَى أَرْبَعِ أَوَاقٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَى أَرْبَعِ أَوَاقٍ؟ كَأَنَّمَا تَنْحِتُونَ الْفِضَّةَ مِنْ عُرْضِ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ، مَا عِنْدَنَا مَا نُعْطِيكَ، وَلَكِنْ عَسَى أَنْ نَبْعَثَكَ فِي بَعْثٍ تُصِيبُ مِنْهُ»، قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ بَعْثًا إِلَى بَنِي عَبْسٍ بَعَثَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ فِيهِمْ
