Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa’d bin Rabi’ al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) had two wives, and he offered to divide his wealth and household (i.e., one wife and half of his wealth) with him. So, Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: May Allah bless you in your family and wealth, just show me the way to the market. The next day, he went to the market and earned some profit in cheese and ghee. Then one day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him and there were traces of wedding perfume on him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “O Abdur Rahman, what is the matter?” He replied: O Messenger of Allah! I have married a woman from among the Ansar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “How much dowry did you give her?” He replied: Gold equal to the weight of a date stone. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Give a wedding feast, even if it is with only one goat.”
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established brotherhood between him and Sa’d bin Rabi’ al-Ansari. Sa’d had two wives, so he offered that he would divide half of his household and wealth, but Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman said: May Allah bless you in your family and wealth, just show me the way to the market. He went to the market and earned much profit from cheese and ghee. After a few days, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him and there were yellow marks on him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “Abdur Rahman, what is the matter?” He replied: O Messenger of Allah! I have married a woman from among the Ansar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “What did you give her as dowry?” He said: Gold equal to the weight of a date stone. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Give a wedding feast, even if it is with only one goat.”
Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived in Madinah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa’d bin Rabi’ al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Sa’d al-Ansari said to him: O my brother! I am among the wealthiest of the people of Madinah. Take half of my wealth, and I have two wives; whichever one you like more, I will divorce her for you (and after she completes her waiting period, you may marry her). Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: May Allah bless your family and your wealth, just show me the way to the market. So he showed him the way to the market. He went to the market, engaged in buying and selling, and brought back some cheese and ghee as earnings. In this way, he continued to work as much as Allah willed. (Once) he came and there were signs of marriage on him, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: “What is this?” He replied: O Messenger of Allah! I have married a woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “How much dowry did you give her?” He said: Gold equal to the weight of a date stone. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Give a wedding feast, even if it is only with one goat.” Then Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: After that, you saw me; if I lifted a stone, I would think that I would find gold and silver beneath it.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that Abdur Rahman bin Awf and Zubair bin Al-Awwam, may Allah be pleased with them both, complained to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about lice, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, granted them permission to wear silk shirts during the military expeditions.
