Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُنَاصِفَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، دُلَّنِي عَلَى السُّوقِ‏.‏ فَرَبِحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ، فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَهْيَمْ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَمَا سُقْتَ فِيهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Yusuf narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf arrived, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) established a bond of brotherhood between him and the Ansari Saʿd ibn al-Rabi. Saʿd offered to share his family and wealth equally with him. Abd al-Rahman said, ‘May Allah bless your family and wealth. Show me the market.’ He made some profit from dried curds and ghee. A few days later, the Prophet saw him with traces of yellow scent on him and asked, ‘What is this, Abd al-Rahman?’ He said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman from the Ansar.’ He asked, ‘What dowry did you give her?’ He replied, ‘Gold weighing as much as a date stone.’ The Prophet said, ‘Hold a wedding feast, even if with one sheep.’”
