Sahih al-Bukhari 4960 (Book 67, Hadith 102)
did you give her?” `Abdur-Rahman said, “Gold equal to the weight of a date stone.” Anas added:
When they (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions) arrived at Medina, the emigrants stayed at the
Ansar’s houses. `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf stayed at Sa`d bin Ar-Rabi’s house. Sa`d said to `Abdur-
Rahman, “I will divide and share my property with you and will give one of my two wives to you.”
`Abdur-Rahman said, “May Allah bless you, your wives and property (I am not in need of that; but
kindly show me the way to the market).” So `Abdur-Rahman went to the market and traded there
gaining a profit of some dried yoghurt and butter, and married (an Ansari woman). The Prophet (ﷺ) said
to him, “Give a banquet, even if with one sheep.”
