Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ ذُكِرَ تَزْوِيجُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوْلَمَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ مَا أَوْلَمَ عَلَيْهَا أَوْلَمَ بِشَاةٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad and Qutaybah ibn Saʿid narrated to us, saying: Hammad narrated to us, from Thabit, who said: The marriage of Zaynab daughter of Jahsh was mentioned in the presence of Anas ibn Malik. He said: “I did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ hold a wedding feast for any of his wives like the one he held for her. He held it with a sheep.”
