حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ قَزَعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکٌ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَمَلُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَإِنَّمَا لِامْرِئٍ مَا نَوَی فَمَنْ کَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَی اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَی اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَنْ کَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَی دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْکِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَی مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5072
Narrated Anas bin Malik: `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf came (from Mecca to Medina) and the Prophet made a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa`d bin Ar-Rabi` Al-Ansari. Al-Ansari had two wives, so he suggested that `Abdur- Rahman take half, his wives and property. `Abdur-Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you with your wives and property. Kindly show me the market." So `Abdur-Rahman went to the market and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and some butter. After a few days the Prophet saw `Abdur-Rahman with some yellow stains on his clothes and asked him, "What is that, O `Abdur-Rahman?" He replied, "I had married an Ansari woman." The Prophet asked, "How much Mahr did you give her?" He replied, "The weight of one (date) stone of gold." The Prophet said, "Offer a banquet, even with one sheep."
