حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ ذُكِرَ تَزْوِيجُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْلَمَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ مَا أَوْلَمَ عَلَيْهَا أَوْلَمَ بِشَاةٍ

Celebrate special occasions generously and happily

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about the marriage of Zainab daughter of Jahsh to the Prophet Muhammad, and how he celebrated it with generosity. Anas b. Malik said that he did not see the Prophet hold such a wedding feast for any of his wives as he did for her, which was with a sheep. This hadith teaches us that marriage should be celebrated generously and happily, as it is an important event in one's life. It also shows us how generous the Prophet was in celebrating this occasion, even though it was not necessary to do so extravagantly or expensively. We can learn from this example to be generous when celebrating special occasions like weddings or birthdays, and to remember that these moments are precious and should be cherished by all involved parties.
