حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الْمَدِينَةَ فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، وَكَانَ سَعْدٌ ذَا غِنًى، فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أُقَاسِمُكَ مَالِي نِصْفَيْنِ، وَأُزَوِّجُكَ. قَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ. فَمَا رَجَعَ حَتَّى اسْتَفْضَلَ أَقِطًا وَسَمْنًا، فَأَتَى بِهِ أَهْلَ مَنْزِلِهِ، فَمَكَثْنَا يَسِيرًا ـ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ـ فَجَاءَ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَهْيَمْ ". قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ. قَالَ " مَا سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا ". قَالَ نَوَاةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، أَوْ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. قَالَ " أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ ".

Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us: Humayd narrated to us, from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf arrived in Medina, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, established a bond of brotherhood between him and Sad ibn al-Rabi al-Ansari. Sad was wealthy, so he said to Abd al-Rahman, “I will divide my wealth equally with you and arrange a marriage for you.” Abd al-Rahman said, “May Allah bless your family and wealth for you. Show me the market.” He did not return until he had acquired some dried curds and clarified butter. He brought them to his household. We remained for a short while, or for however long Allah willed, then he came with traces of yellow on him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, “What is this?” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman from the Ansar.” He asked, “What did you give her?” He said, “A date stone of gold, or gold weighing as much as a date stone.” He said, “Give a wedding feast, even if only with one sheep.”

فَمَا رَجَعَ حَتَّى اسْتَفْضَلَ أَقِطًا وَسَمْنًا
The verb suggests obtaining a surplus or profit, while the report only specifies the curds and clarified butter he brought back.
Is a more precise commercial sense intended here?
