Sahih al-Bukhari 3774 (Book 63, Hadith 162)
between him and Sa`d bin Ar-Rabi-al-Ansari, Saud suggested that `Abdur-Rahman should accept half
of his property and family. `Abdur Rahman said, “May Allah bless you in your family and property;
guide me to the market.” So `Abdur-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 `Abdur-Rahman?” He said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I have married an Ansar’ woman.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “What have you given her as
Mahr?” He (i.e. `Abdur-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.”
