When ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf came to Medina, the Prophet ﷺ established a bond of brotherhood between him and Saʿd bin Ar-Rabi al-Ansari. Saʿd was a rich man, so he said to ʿAbdur-Rahman, "I will give you half of my property and will help you marry." ʿAbdur-Rahman said (to him), "May Allah bless you in your family and property. Show me the market." So ʿAbdur-Rahman did not return from the market) till he gained some dried buttermilk (yogurt) and butter (through trading). He brought that to his house-hold. We stayed for sometime (or as long as Allah wished), and then ʿAbdur-Rahman came, scented with yellowish perfume. The Prophet ﷺ said (to him) "What is this?" He replied, "I got married to an Ansari woman." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What did you pay her?" He replied, "A gold stone or gold equal to the weight of a date stone." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Give a wedding banquet even if with one sheep."  

قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الْمَدِينَةَ فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ وَكَانَ سَعْدٌ ذَا غِنًى فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أُقَاسِمُكَ مَالِي نِصْفَيْنِ وَأُزَوِّجُكَ قَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَمَا رَجَعَ حَتَّى اسْتَفْضَلَ أَقِطًا وَسَمْنًا فَأَتَى بِهِ أَهْلَ مَنْزِلِهِ فَمَكَثْنَا يَسِيرًا أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَجَاءَ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْيَمْ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَ مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ  

When the emigrants reached Medina. Messenger of Allah ﷺ established the bond of fraternity between ʿAbdur-Rahman and Saʿd bin Ar-Rabi. Saʿd said to ʿAbdur-Rahman, "I am the richest of all the Ansar, so I want to divide my property (between us), and I have two wives, so see which of the two you like and tell me, so that I may divorce her, and when she finishes her prescribed period (i.e. 'Idda) of divorce, then marry her." ʿAbdur-Rahman said, "May Allah bless your family and property for you; where is your market?" So they showed him the Qainuqa' market. (He went there and) returned with a profit in the form of dried yogurt and butter. He continued going (to the market) till one day he came, bearing the traces of yellow scent. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is this (scent)?" He replied, "I got married." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "How much Mahr did you give her?" He replied, "I gave her a datestone of gold or a gold piece equal to the weight of a date-stone." (The narrator, Ibrahim, is in doubt as to which is correct.)  

لَمَّا قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ آخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنِّي أَكْثَرُ الأَنْصَارِ مَالاً فَأَقْسِمُ مَالِي نِصْفَيْنِ وَلِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَعْجَبَهُمَا إِلَيْكَ فَسَمِّهَا لِي أُطَلِّقْهَا فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا فَتَزَوَّجْهَا قَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ أَيْنَ سُوقُكُمْ فَدَلُّوهُ عَلَى سُوقِ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ فَمَا انْقَلَبَ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهُ فَضْلٌ مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ ثُمَّ تَابَعَ الْغُدُوَّ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَوْمًا وَبِهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْيَمْ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ قَالَ كَمْ سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ شَكَّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ  

When ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf came to us, Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a bond of fraternity between him and Saʿd bin Ar-Rabiʿ who was a rich man, Saʿd said, "The Ansar 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 her passing the prescribed period (i.e. 'Idda) of divorce. ʿAbdur Rahman said, "May Allah bless you your family (i.e. wives) for you." (But ʿAbdur-Rahman went to the market) and did not return on that day except with some gain of dried yogurt and butter. He went on trading just a few days till he came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ bearing the traces of yellow scent over his clothes. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What is this scent?" He replied, "I have married a woman from the Ansar." Allah's Apostle asked, "How much Mahr have you given?" He said, "A date-stone weight of gold or a golden date-stone." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Arrange a marriage banquet even with a sheep."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَآخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَكَانَ كَثِيرَ الْمَالِ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ قَدْ عَلِمَتِ الأَنْصَارُ أَنِّي مِنْ أَكْثَرِهَا مَالاً 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 إِلاَّ يَسِيرًا حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَهْيَمْ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ مَا سُقْتَ فِيهَا قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ  

: "When 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf arrived in Al-Madinah, the Messenger of Allah established a bond of brotherhood between him and sa'd bin Ar-Rabi. So he said to him: "Come here, I will divide my wealth and give you half, and I have two wives, I will divorce one of them, and when she completes her waiting period you may marry her." He said: " May Allah bless you in your family and your wealth. Show me where the market is." So they showed him where the market was and he did not return that day except with some cottage cheese and cooking fat which he had earned as a profit. The Messenger of Allah saw him after that, and he had traces of yellow on him. So he said to him: "What is this?" He said: "I married a woman from the Ansar." He said : " What dowry did you give her?" He said: " A date-stone(of gold) - ( one of the narrators) Humaid said: "Or he said: - gold equal to the weight of a date-stone." So he said: 'Have a banquet, even if with only a sheep."

[Machine] Abdul Rahman ibn Awf arrived in Madinah and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a pact of brotherhood between him and Saad ibn ar-Rabee al-Ansari. Saad said to him, "O my brother, I am among the wealthiest people of Madinah, so take half of my wealth and under me are two wives, choose whichever one you like until I divorce her". Abdul Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you in your family and wealth. Show me the market so I can familiarize myself with it". They showed him the market and he went and bought and sold, and made a profit. He came back with some dried dates and clarified butter. Then he stayed for as long as Allah willed. Then he came back with some saffron fibers and the Prophet ﷺ said, "What have you accomplished?" Abdul Rahman replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman". The Prophet asked, "Did you verify her truthfulness?" Abdul Rahman said, "No, but I have given her a nugget of gold weighing the size of a date stone". The Prophet said, "May Allah bless you, even if it is merely a small sheep". Abdul Rahman said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I had lifted a stone, I would have hoped for it to be gold or silver."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَآخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ أَيْ أَخِي أَنَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَالًا فَانْظُرْ شَطْرَ مَالِي فَخُذْهُ وَتَحْتِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَيُّهُمَا أَعْجَبُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى أُطَلِّقَهَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَدَلُّوهُ عَلَى السُّوقِ فَذَهَبَ فَاشْتَرَى وَبَاعَ وَرَبِحَ فَجَاءَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ ثُمَّ لَبِثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثَ فَجَاءَ وَعَلَيْهِ رَدْعُ زَعْفَرَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَهْيَمْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ مَا أَصْدَقْتَهَا؟ قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَلَوْ رَفَعْتُ حَجَرًا لَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ ذَهَبًا أَوْ فِضَّةً  

[Machine] When Abdullah ibn Awf arrived as an immigrant, the Prophet ﷺ united him with Sa'd ibn Ar-Rabi'. Sa'd said to him, "I have wealth, and I will give you half of it, and I have two wives, so choose which one you like until I divorce her, and when her waiting period is over, I will marry her to you." Abdullah said to him, "May Allah bless you and your family and wealth. Show me the market." Sa'd did not return that day until he came back with something he had obtained from the market. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What did you give him?" He replied, "I gave him a golden nugget, or he said, the weight of a golden nugget." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Did you offer him anything to drink?" He replied, "I offered him a bud of gold, or he said, the weight of a bud of gold." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why didn't you give him even a sheep?"  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ مُهَاجِرًا آخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ لِي مَالٌ فَنِصْفُهُ لَكَ وَلِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَحَبَّهُمَا إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى أُطَلِّقَهَا فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا تَزَوَّجْتُهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ؟ قَالَ فَمَا رَجَعَ يَوْمَئِذٍ حَتَّى رَجَعَ بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ مِنَ السُّوقِ قَالَ وَفَقَدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَّامًا ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَهْيَمْ؟ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟ قَالَ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ  

[Machine] I heard Anas ibn Malik say that Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf came to Medina and the Prophet ﷺ arranged a brotherhood between him and Sa'd ibn Ar-Rabi' Al-Ansari. Sa'd offered to divide his wealth and family with Abdur-Rahman, who replied, "May Allah bless you in your family and wealth. Show me the market." Abdur-Rahman went to the market and made a profit by selling some fat. The Prophet ﷺ saw him after a few days with a yellowish complexion, so he asked him, "What's wrong, Abdur-Rahman?" He replied, "I married a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What did you give her as a dowry?" Abdur-Rahman said, "A piece of gold weighing a date seed." The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah bless your marriage. Offer a wedding feast, even if it is with a sheep."  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الْمَدِينَةَ فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ أَنْ يُنَاصِفَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ وَكَانَ لَهُ امْرَأَتَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ قَالَ فَأَتَى السُّوقَ فَرَبِحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ مِنْ سَمْنٍ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ «مَهْيَمْ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ» قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ «مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا» قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»
