Simple Wedding Banquet

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) gave a simple wedding banquet for his wife Zainab, consisting of only one sheep.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet did not give a better wedding banquet on the occasion of marrying any of his wives than the one he gave on marrying Zainab, and that banquet was with (consisted of) one sheep.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ مَا أَوْلَمَ النَّبِيُّ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ، مَا أَوْلَمَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ أَوْلَمَ بِشَاةٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik tells us that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gave a simple wedding banquet when he married Zainab. This shows us that the Prophet ﷺ was an example of simplicity and humility in all aspects of life. He did not need to give an extravagant feast to celebrate his marriage; instead he chose to keep it simple and humble with just one sheep. This teaches us that we should be content with what we have and not strive for extravagance or luxury in our lives. We should also remember to be humble and grateful for whatever blessings Allah has bestowed upon us.
