ʿAbdur Rahman bin ʿAuf said, "When we came to Medina as emigrants, Messenger of Allah ﷺ established a bond of brotherhood between me and Saʿd bin Ar-Rabiʿ. Saʿd bin Ar-Rabiʿ said (to me), 'I am the richest among the Ansar, so I will give you half of my wealth and you may look at my two wives and whichever of the two you may choose I will divorce her, and when she has completed the prescribed period (before marriage) you may marry her.' ʿAbdur-Rahman replied, "I am not in need of all that. Is there any marketplace where trade is practiced?' He replied, "The market of Qainuqa." ʿAbdur- Rahman went to that market the following day and brought some dried buttermilk (yogurt) and butter, and then he continued going there regularly. Few days later, ʿAbdur-Rahman came having traces of yellow (scent) on his body. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him whether he had got married. He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whom have you married?' He replied, 'A woman from the Ansar.' Then the Prophet ﷺ asked, 'How much did you pay her?' He replied, '(I gave her) a gold piece equal in weigh to a date stone (or a date stone of gold)! The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Give a Walima (wedding banquet) even if with one sheep .' "  

عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ لَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ آخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ إِنِّي أَكْثَرُ الأَنْصَارِ مَالاً فَأَقْسِمُ لَكَ نِصْفَ مَالِي وَانْظُرْ أَىَّ زَوْجَتَىَّ هَوِيتَ نَزَلْتُ لَكَ عَنْهَا فَإِذَا حَلَّتْ تَزَوَّجْتَهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ هَلْ مِنْ سُوقٍ فِيهِ تِجَارَةٌ قَالَ سُوقُ قَيْنُقَاعَ قَالَ فَغَدَا إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأَتَى بِأَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَابَعَ الْغُدُوَّ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ جَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَزَوَّجْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَمَنْ قَالَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَ كَمْ سُقْتَ قَالَ زِنَةَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ  

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 ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf came to Medina and the Prophet ﷺ established the bond of brotherhood between him and Saʿd bin Ar-Rabi-al-Ansari, Saud suggested that ʿAbdur-Rahman should accept half of his property and family. ʿAbdur Rahman said, "May Allah bless you in your family and property; guide me to the market." So ʿAbdur-Rahman (while doing business in the market) made some profit of some condensed dry yoghurt and butter. After a few days the Prophet ﷺ saw him wearing clothes stained with yellow perfume. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is this, O ʿAbdur-Rahman?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have married an Ansar' woman." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What have you given her as Mahr?" He (i.e. ʿAbdur-Rahman) said, "A piece of gold, about the weight of a date stone." Then the Prophet said, Give a banquet, even though of a sheep."  

قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُنَاصِفَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلَّنِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَرَبِحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَهْيَمْ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَ فَمَا سُقْتَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ 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  

ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf came (from Mecca to Medina) and the Prophet ﷺ made a bond of brotherhood between him and Saʿd bin Ar-Rabiʿ Al-Ansari. Al-Ansari had two wives, so he suggested that ʿAbdur- Rahman take half, his wives and property. ʿAbdur-Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you with your wives and property. Kindly show me the market." So ʿAbdur-Rahman went to the market and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and some butter. After a few days the Prophet ﷺ saw ʿAbdur-Rahman with some yellow stains on his clothes and asked him, "What is that, O ʿAbdur-Rahman?" He replied, "I had married an Ansari 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 banquet, even with one sheep."  

قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ 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 ﷺ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ مَهْيَمْ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ أَنْصَارِيَّةً قَالَ فَمَا سُقْتَ قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ  

When ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf married an Ansari woman, the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "How much Mahr did you give her?" ʿAbdur-Rahman said, "Gold equal to the weight of a date stone." Anas added: When they (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ and his companions) arrived at Medina, the emigrants stayed at the Ansar's houses. ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf stayed at Saʿd bin Ar-Rabi's house. Saʿd said to ʿAbdur- Rahman, "I will divide and share my property with you and will give one of my two wives to you." ʿAbdur-Rahman said, "May Allah bless you, your wives and property (I am not in need of that; but kindly show me the way to the market)." So ʿAbdur-Rahman went to the market and traded there gaining a profit of some dried yoghurt and butter, and married (an Ansari woman). The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Give a banquet, even if with one sheep."  

سَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ كَمْ أَصْدَقْتَهَا قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَعَنْ حُمَيْدٍ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ نَزَلَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ عَلَى الأَنْصَارِ فَنَزَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ فَقَالَ أُقَاسِمُكَ مَالِي وَأَنْزِلُ لَكَ عَنْ إِحْدَى امْرَأَتَىَّ قَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَبَاعَ وَاشْتَرَى فَأَصَابَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ فَتَزَوَّجَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ  

"The Messenger of Allah established the bond of brotherhood between (some of) the Quraish and (some of) the Ansar, and he established the bond of brotherhood between Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi' and 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf. Sa'd said to him: 'I have wealth, which I will share equally between you and me. And I have two wives, so look and see which one you like better, and I will divorce her, and when her 'Iddah is over you can marry her.' He said: 'May Allah bless your family and your wealth for you. Show me -i.e., where the market is.' And he did not come back until he brought some ghee, and cottage cheese that he had left over. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah saw traces of yellow perfume on me and he said: 'What is this for?' I said: 'I have married a woman from among the Ansar.' He said: 'Give a Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ آخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ وَالأَنْصَارِ فَآخَى بَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ إِنَّ لِي مَالاً فَهُوَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ شَطْرَانِ وَلِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَيُّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَأَنَا أُطَلِّقُهَا فَإِذَا حَلَّتْ فَتَزَوَّجْهَا قَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي أَىْ عَلَى السُّوقِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى رَجَعَ بِسَمْنٍ وَأَقِطٍ قَدْ أَفْضَلَهُ قَالَ وَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَىَّ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ مَهْيَمْ فَقُلْتُ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ 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] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , formed a bond between the Muhajireen and the Ansar. He also formed a bond between Sa'd bin Rabee'ah and Abdur Rahman bin Awf. Sa'd said to him, "I have wealth that is divided between us, and I have two wives. Choose whichever one you desire until I divorce her, then marry her." Abdur Rahman replied, "I don't need your wealth or your family. Show me the market." So he went and returned with dates and flour, which he considered to be the best, and went to the Prophet, ﷺ , with traces of saffron on him. The Prophet asked, "What happened?" Abdur Rahman replied, "I have married a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet asked, "What did you give her?" Abdur Rahman replied, "A date stone's weight of gold or a date stone's weight of gold." The Prophet said, "Give a wedding feast, even if it's just with a sheep."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ آخَى بَيْنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ آخَى بَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا فَهُوَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ شَطْرَانِ وَلِيَ امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَيَّتَهُمَا أَحْبَبْتَ حَتَّى أُطَلِّقَهَا فَإِذَا خَلَتْ فَتَزَوَّجْهَا قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِمَالِكَ وَأَهْلِكَ دُلَّنِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بِتَمْرٍ وَأَقِطٍ قَدْ أَفْضَلَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَبِهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ «مَيْهَمْ؟» قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ «مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟» قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»  

"The Messenger of Allah established the bond of brotherhood between (some of) the Quraish and (some of) the Ansar, and he established the bond of brotherhood between Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi' and 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf. Sa'd said to him: 'I have wealth, which I will share equally between you and me. And I have two wives, so look and see which one you like better, and I will divorce her, and when her 'Iddah is over you can marry her.' He said: 'May Allah bless your family and your wealth for you. Show me -i.e., where the market is.' And he did not come back until he brought some ghee, and cottage cheese that he had left over. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah saw traces of yellow perfume on me and he said: 'What is this for?' I said: 'I have married a woman from among the Ansar.' He said: 'Give a Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3388)   

آخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْأَنْصَارِ فَآخَى بَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا فَهِيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ شَطْرَانِ وَلِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَيُّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَأَنَا أُطَلِّقُهَا فَإِذَا حَلَّتْ فَتَزَوَّجْهَا فَقَالَ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى رَجَعَ بِتَمْرٍ وَأَقِطٍ ثُمَّ أَفْضَلَهُ وَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْهِ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ «مَهْيَمْ؟» فَقُلْتُ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ «مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟» قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had reconciled between Saad and Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, so he returned to his family and said, "Choose whichever wife you want, I will divorce her for you, and as for my wealth, you can have half of it." Abd al-Rahman said, "May Allah bless you in your family and wealth. Show me the market." They showed him the market and he did not return until he acquired something. Then he married a woman from the Ansar with the weight equivalent of a date stone in gold. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met him carrying a wound from beating. He said, "What is this?" Abd al-Rahman said, "I married a woman from the Ansar with the weight equivalent of a date stone in gold." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Spend, even if it is just a sheep."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ آخَى بَيْنَ سَعْدٍ وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَرَجَعَ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْ أَيَّ امْرَأَتَيَّ شِئْتَ أُطَلِّقْهَا لَكَ وَمَالِي لَكَ نِصْفَيْنِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَدَلُّوهُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى أَصَابَ شَيْئًا فَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى وَزْنِ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَلَقِيَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَبِهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ «مَهْيَمْ؟» فَقَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى وَزْنِ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»  

When ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf came to Medina and the Prophet ﷺ established the bond of brotherhood between him and Saʿd bin Ar-Rabi-al-Ansari, Saud suggested that ʿAbdur-Rahman should accept half of his property and family. ʿAbdur Rahman said, "May Allah bless you in your family and property; guide me to the market." So ʿAbdur-Rahman (while doing business in the market) made some profit of some condensed dry yoghurt and butter. After a few days the Prophet ﷺ saw him wearing clothes stained with yellow perfume. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is this, O ʿAbdur-Rahman?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have married an Ansar' woman." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What have you given her as Mahr?" He (i.e. ʿAbdur-Rahman) said, "A piece of gold, about the weight of a date stone." Then the Prophet said, Give a banquet, even though of a sheep." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3937)   

لَمَّا 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 وَشَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ مَهْيَمْ؟ فَقَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا؟ قَالَ وَزْنُ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ  

[Machine] Abdulrahman arrived as an immigrant and the Prophet ﷺ formed a brotherhood between him and Saad ibn Rabee’. Saad said to him, "I have two wives, so look which one you like until I divorce her, and when her waiting period ends, you can marry her. I also have wealth, so I will give you half of it." Abdulrahman said, "May Allah bless you in your family and wealth. Show me the way to the marketplace." They showed him the way and he did not return that day until he came back with goods. The Prophet ﷺ then lost him and when he came to him, he had shabby clothes on. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What happened?" Abdulrahman replied, "I married a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "How much did you give as dowry?" Abdulrahman said, "A date stone of gold weight, or he might have said, the weight of a date stone of gold." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give me the bone if you have, even if it is from a sheep." Az-Zuhri said, "And he informed us that Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us from Humeid from Anas in a similar manner, except that Anas said, 'He received some fat and meat as profit.'"  

قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مُهَاجِرًا فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ ؓ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ لِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَيَّتَهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى أُطَلِّقَهَا فَإِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا تَزَوَّجْهَا وَلِي مَالٌ فَنِصْفُهُ لَكَ فَقَالَ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَدَلُّوهُ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ يَوْمَئِذٍ حَتَّى جَاءَ بِأَشْيَاءَ ثُمَّ فَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَهْيَمْ؟ فَقَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ عَلَى كَمْ؟ قَالَ عَلَى نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ قَالَ وَزْنِ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أنبأ حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ نَحْوَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَصَابَ شَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ وَأَقِطٍ رَبِحَهُ
