Bond of Brotherhood & Marriage Encouragement

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) made a bond of brotherhood between 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi' Al-Ansari, and encouraged 'Abdur-Rahman to marry an Ansari woman by offering a banquet even with one sheep as Mahr.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf came (from Mecca to Medina) and the Prophet made a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi' Al-Ansari. Al-Ansari had two wives, so he suggested that 'Abdur- Rahman take half, his wives and property'.Abdur-Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you with your wives and property. Kindly show me the market". So 'Abdur-Rahman went to the market and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and some butter. After a few days the Prophet saw 'Abdur-Rahman with some yellow stains on his clothes and asked him, "What is that, O 'Abdur-Rahman?" He replied, "I had married an Ansari woman". The Prophet asked, "How much Mahr did you give her?" He replied, "The weight of one (date) stone of gold". The Prophet said, "Offer a banquet, even with one sheep".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَآخَى النَّبِيُّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ وَعِنْدَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ امْرَأَتَانِ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُنَاصِفَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ فَقَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ، فَأَتَى السُّوقَ فَرَبِحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَشَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَهْيَمْ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ أَنْصَارِيَّةً‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَمَا سُقْتَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's encouragement for people to form bonds of brotherhood and marriage. When Abdur Rahman bin Auf came from Mecca to Medina, the Prophet formed a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa'd bin Ar Rabi Al Ansari. As part of this bond, Sa'd offered half his wives and property to Abdur Rahman. However, Abdur Rahman refused this offer but asked for help in finding the market instead. After some time, when the Prophet saw yellow stains on Abdur Rahman's clothes he asked him what it was about. He replied that he had married an Ansari woman with one date stone worth of gold as her mahr or dowry. The Prophet then encouraged him further by suggesting that he should offer a banquet even if it was with just one sheep! This hadith teaches us that we should be generous in our relationships with others and not be stingy or miserly when it comes to forming bonds or marriages - we should always strive for generosity in our dealings!
