Sahih al-Bukhari 4868 (Book 67, Hadith 10)
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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) asked, “How much Mahr did you give her?” He
replied, “The weight of one (date) stone of gold.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Offer a banquet, even with one
sheep.”
