أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ، جَاءَ وَعَلَيْهِ رَدْعٌ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَهْيَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا أَصْدَقْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Nafi' reported to us; he said: Bahz ibn Asad narrated to us; he said: Hammad narrated to us; he said: Thabit narrated to us, from Anas: Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf came with traces of saffron on him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘What is this?’ He said, ‘I have married a woman.’ He asked, ‘What did you give her as a dower?’ He said, ‘The weight of a date stone in gold.’ He said, ‘Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.’

Translation notes

  • The report contains the same dower measure as the preceding account and uses the brief question ‘mahyam’ to ask what was happening.
