Narrated by Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed the scent of perfume on him, he asked: O Abdur Rahman! What is the matter? He replied: I have married a woman from among the Ansar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: How much dowry did you give? He said: I gave gold equal to the weight of a date stone. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hold a wedding feast, even if it is with a single goat. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw that after his death, each of his wives received one hundred thousand dinars.
