Abdul-Rahman bin Awf came to us, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ established a bond of brotherhood between him and Saad bin Rabi, who was a man of considerable wealth.Saad said, "The Ansar know that I am among the wealthiest of them. I will divide my wealth between us into two halves. I also have two wives, so look and see which of them pleases you more, and I will divorce her. Once her waiting period is complete, you may marry her."Abdul-Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you in your family and your wealth."He did not return that day until he had earned a profit of some clarified butter and dried curd. It was not long before he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with traces of yellow perfume on him.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What is this?"He answered, "I have married a woman from the Ansar."The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What did you give her as a dowry?"He said, "The weight of a date-stone in gold," or, "a date-stone of gold."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a single sheep."
