أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَی عَلَی عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَی وَزْنِ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ بَارَکَ اللَّهُ لَکَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3380
It was narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم saw traces of yellow perfume on ‘Abdur-Rahman and said: ‘What is this?’ He said: ‘I married a woman for a Nawah (five Dirhams) of gold.’ He said: ‘May Allah bless you. Give a WalImah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep.” (Sahih)
