Sahih al-Bukhari 3937 (Book 63, Hadith 162) #3765
Celebrating Marriage in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) encouraged 'Abdur-Rahman to marry an Ansar woman and gave him advice on how to celebrate the marriage.

Narrated Anas: When 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf came to Medina and the Prophet established the bond of brotherhood between him and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi-al-Ansari, Saud suggested that 'Abdur-Rahman should accept half of his property and family'.Abdur Rahman said, "May Allah bless you in your family and property; guide me to the market". So 'Abdur-Rahman (while doing business in the market) made some profit of some condensed dry yoghurt and butter. After a few days the Prophet saw him wearing clothes stained with yellow perfume. The Prophet asked, "What is this, O 'Abdur-Rahman?" He said, "O Allah's Messenger ! I have married an Ansar' woman". The Prophet asked, "What have you given her as Mahr?" He (ie 'Abdur-Rahman) said, "A piece of gold, about the weight of a date stone". Then the Prophet said, Give a banquet, even though of a sheep".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُنَاصِفَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، دُلَّنِي عَلَى السُّوقِ‏.‏ فَرَبِحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ، فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ مَهْيَمْ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَمَا سُقْتَ فِيهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of celebrating marriage in Islam. It was narrated by Anas bin Malik that when 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf came to Medina and the Prophet established a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi-al-Ansari, Saud suggested that 'Abdur-Rahman should accept half of his property and family. Abdur Rahman said he would rather go to the market instead. After a few days, when the Prophet saw him wearing clothes stained with yellow perfume he asked what it was for. Abdur Rahman told him he had married an Ansar woman and given her a piece of gold as mahr. The Prophet then advised him to give a banquet even if it was only with one sheep. This hadith teaches us that marriage is important in Islam and should be celebrated accordingly with generosity even if one does not have much money or resources available at their disposal. It also shows us how kind and generous our beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ was towards others who were less fortunate than himself; always encouraging them to do good deeds such as getting married despite their financial situation or lack thereof.
