حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، ثنا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَوْمًا: «يَا رَبِيعَةُ أَلَا تَزَوَّجُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَخِدْمُتُكُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَعَادَ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ مَرَّةٍ أُخْرَى، فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُصْلِحُنِي مِنِّي، فَلَئِنْ قَالَ لِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى لَأَقُولَنَّ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا رَبِيعَةُ أَلَا تَزَوَّجُ؟» قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ لِي: «ائْتِ فُلَانًا - لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ - فَلْيُزَوِّجُوكَ ابْنَتَهُمْ فُلَانَةَ» قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أنْ تُزَوِّجُونِي، قَالُوا: مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَذْهَبُ رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَزَوَّجُونِي، لَمْ يَسْأَلُونِي بَيِّنَةً، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا كَئِيبٌ، فَقَالَ لِي: «مَا لَكَ يَا رَبِيعَةُ؟» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَيْتُ قَوْمًا كِرَامًا، فَزَوَّجُونِي وَلَمْ يَسْأَلُونِي بَيِّنَةً، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أَصْدَقُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اجْمَعُوا لَهُ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ» ، فَجَمَعُوا لِي وَزْنَ نَوَاتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، فَقَبِلُوا وَقَالُوا: كَثِيرٌ طَيِّبٌ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا كَئِيبٌ فَقَالَ: «مَا لَكَ يَا رَبِيعَةُ؟» فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَيْتُ قَوْمًا كِرَامًا، فَقَبِلُوا وَقَالُوا: كَثِيرٌ طَيِّبٌ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أُولِمُ فَقَالَ: «اجْمَعُوا لَهُ فِي ثَمَنِ كَبْشٍ» ، فَجَمَعُوا لِي فِي ثَمَنِ كَبْشٍ، وَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَأُتِي بِمِكْتَلٍ فِيهِ شَعِيرٌ، فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، فَقَالُوا: أَمَّا الْكَبْشُ فَاكْفُونَاهُ أَنْتُمْ، وَأَمَّا الشَّعِيرُ فَنَحْنُ نَكْفِيكُمُوهُ، قَالَ: فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ وَأَصْبَحْتُ، فَدَعَوْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ
Sayyiduna Rabi'ah bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One day he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Rabi'ah, will you not marry?" I said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, serving you is dearer to me. The narrator said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated it again, and I said the same thing again. The narrator said: So I said to myself: By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) knows better than I what is good for me; if he (peace and blessings be upon him) says it again, I will certainly say: Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah! Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Rabi'ah, will you not marry?" I said: Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to so-and-so" - he named a man from the Ansar - "they will marry their daughter so-and-so to you." The narrator said: So I went to them and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has ordered you to marry me (to your daughter). They said: Welcome to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The messenger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does not come except for his need. The narrator said: So they married me, and did not ask me for any proof. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a sad state, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Rabi'ah, what is the matter with you?" I said: O Messenger of Allah, I went to some noble people; they married me and did not ask for any proof, and I have nothing to give as a dowry (mahr). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Gather for him the weight of a date stone in gold." So they gathered for me the weight of two date stones in gold. I took it to them, and they accepted it and said: It is plenty and good. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a sad state, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Rabi'ah, what is the matter with you?" I said: O Messenger of Allah, I went to some noble people; they accepted it and said: It is plenty and good, but I have nothing with which to give a wedding feast (walimah). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Gather for him the price of a ram." So they gathered for me the price of a ram, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent to his family, and a basket containing barley was brought. I took it to them, and they said: As for the ram, you take care of it yourselves, and as for the barley, we will take care of it for you. The narrator said: So they did that, and in the morning I invited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions.
