أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَزِيرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ آخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ وَالأَنْصَارِ فَآخَى بَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ إِنَّ لِي مَالاً فَهُوَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ شَطْرَانِ وَلِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَيُّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ فَأَنَا أُطَلِّقُهَا فَإِذَا حَلَّتْ فَتَزَوَّجْهَا . قَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي - أَىْ - عَلَى السُّوقِ . فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى رَجَعَ بِسَمْنٍ وَأَقِطٍ قَدْ أَفْضَلَهُ . قَالَ وَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَىَّ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ " مَهْيَمْ " . فَقُلْتُ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ . فَقَالَ " أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ " .
Ahmad bin Yahya bin al-Wazir narrated to us; Sa'id bin Kathir bin Ufayr narrated to us; Sulayman bin Bilal informed me, from Yahya bin Sa'id, from Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas, who said that he heard him say: The Messenger of Allah established bonds of brotherhood between the Quraysh and the Ansar, pairing Sa'd bin al-Rabi' with Abd al-Rahman bin Awf. Sa'd said to him, ‘I have wealth; it is to be divided equally between us. I have two wives, so see which one you prefer. I will divorce her, and when her waiting period is over, you may marry her.’ Abd al-Rahman replied, ‘May Allah bless you in your family and wealth. Show me the marketplace.’ He did not return until he came back with some ghee and dried yogurt left over. The Messenger of Allah saw traces of yellow on me and asked, ‘What is this?’ I said, ‘I have married a woman from the Ansar.’ He said, ‘Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.’
