Sunan an-Nasai 3351 (Book 26, Hadith 156) #17963
Celebrating Weddings with Generosity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad advised a man to give a wedding feast even if it is with one sheep, after he told him that he had married a woman from among the Ansar and gave her five Dirhams of gold.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf came to the Prophet with traces of yellow perfume on him. The Messenger of Allah asked him (about that) and he told him that he had married a woman from among the Ansar. The Messenger of Allah said: "How much did you give her?" He said: "A Nawah (five Dirhams) of gold". The Messenger of Allah said: "Give a Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ - عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ، جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ وَبِهِ أَثَرُ الصُّفْرَةِ فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ كَمْ سُقْتَ إِلَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ زِنَةَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ
