40. Chapter
٤٠۔ كِتَابُ الصَّدَاقِ
[Machine] Abdul Rahman ibn Auf came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a yellow mark on his body, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him about it. Abdul Rahman ibn Auf informed him that he had married a woman from the Ansar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him how much he had given as mahr (dowry) to her. Abdul Rahman ibn Auf replied, "The weight of a date stone made of gold." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Have you done this even if it was just with a sheep?"
أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ ؓ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبِهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَمْ سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟ قَالَ زِنَةُ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ
What is this? Thereupon he said: Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman for a date-stone's weight of gold. He said: God bless you! Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep. (Using translation from Muslim 1427a)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى وَزْنِ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ فَبَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ
