أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ جَائَ وَعَلَيْهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَهْيَمْ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً قَالَ وَمَا أَصْدَقْتَ قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3381
It was narrated from Anas that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awl came with a trace of saffron on him, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “What’s this for?” He said: “I have married a woman.” He said: “What dowry did you give?” He said: “The weight of a Nawdh (five Dirhams) of gold.” He said: “Give a WalImah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep.” (Sahih)
