Sunan an-Nasai 3388 (Book 26, Hadith 193) #18000
Establishing Brotherhood Through Generosity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad established a bond of brotherhood between two men, one from the Quraish and one from the Ansar. The man from the Quraish offered to share his wealth and wives with his brother, but he refused and instead asked for directions to the market. When he returned, he brought some ghee and cottage cheese as a gift for his new wife.

It was narrated from Humaid At-Tawil that he heard Anas say: "The Messenger of Allah established the bond of brotherhood between (some of) the Quraish and (some of) the Ansar, and he established the bond of brotherhood between Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi' and 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf. Sa'd said to him: 'I have wealth, which I will share equally between you and me. And I have two wives, so look and see which one you like better, and I will divorce her, and when her 'Iddah is over you can marry her'. He said: 'May Allah bless your family and your wealth for you. Show me -ie, where the market is'. And he did not come back until he brought some ghee, and cottage cheese that he had left over. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah saw traces of yellow perfume on me and he said: 'What is this for?' I said: 'I have married a woman from among the Ansar'. He said: 'Give a Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep'."
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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ عَلَىَّ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَهْيَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about establishing bonds of brotherhood between people of different backgrounds. It is narrated by Humaid At-Tawil who heard Anas say that Prophet Muhammad established a bond of brotherhood between two men, one from the Quraish tribe and one from the Ansar tribe. The man from the Quraish offered to share his wealth and wives with his brother, but he refused out of respect for him. Instead, he asked for directions to the market so that he could buy something special for his new wife as a gift on their wedding day. When he returned with some ghee and cottage cheese as gifts, Prophet Muhammad was pleased with him because it showed that even though they were different tribes they could still be brothers in faith through generosity towards each other. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to be generous towards others regardless of their background or social status in order to build strong relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.
