أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى وَزْنِ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah reported to us; he said: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw traces of saffron on Abd al-Rahman and asked, ‘What is this?’ He said, ‘I married a woman for the weight of a date stone in gold.’ He said, ‘May Allah bless you. Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.’

Translation notes

  • The report includes both the gold amount, described by the weight of a date stone, and the instruction to hold a wedding feast.
