حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى وَزْنِ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَجَابِرٍ وَزُهَيْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَزْنُ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَزْنُ ثَلاَثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَثُلُثٍ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ هُوَ وَزْنُ خَمْسَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَثُلُثٍ ‏.‏

Qutaybah narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas ibn Malik: The Messenger of Allah saw a yellow mark on Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf and said: What is this? He replied: I married a woman for a dowry of gold weighing a date stone. He said: May Allah bless you. Hold a wedding banquet, even if only with a sheep. It is also reported in this chapter from Ibn Mas'ud, Aishah, Jabir, and Zuhayr ibn Uthman. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Anas is hasan sahih. Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: A date-stone's weight in gold is three and one-third dirhams. Ishaq said: It is five and one-third dirhams.
