حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ وَحُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَآخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ أَيْ أَخِي أَنَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَالًا فَانْظُرْ شَطْرَ مَالِي فَخُذْهُ وَتَحْتِي امْرَأَتَانِ فَانْظُرْ أَيُّهُمَا أَعْجَبُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى أُطَلِّقَهَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ فَدَلُّوهُ عَلَى السُّوقِ فَذَهَبَ فَاشْتَرَى وَبَاعَ وَرَبِحَ فَجَاءَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ أَقِطٍ وَسَمْنٍ ثُمَّ لَبِثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثَ فَجَاءَ وَعَلَيْهِ رَدْعُ زَعْفَرَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَهْيَمْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ مَا أَصْدَقْتَهَا قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قَالَ أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَلَوْ رَفَعْتُ حَجَرًا لَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ ذَهَبًا أَوْ فِضَّةً.

Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf came to Madinah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) established brotherhood between him and Sa'd ibn al-Rabi' al-Ansari. Sa'd said to him: 'O my brother, I am the wealthiest of the people of Madinah; take half of my wealth. And I have two wives; see which of them pleases you more and I will divorce her for you.' Abd al-Rahman said: 'May Allah bless you in your family and wealth. Just direct me to the marketplace.' So they directed him to the marketplace, and he went and traded and made a profit, bringing back some dried yogurt and butter. Then after some time, he came with traces of saffron on him. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'What is this?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman.' He said: 'What did you give her as mahr?' He said: 'The weight of a date-stone in gold.' He said: 'Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.' Abd al-Rahman said: 'I saw myself in such prosperity that if I lifted a stone, I would hope to find gold or silver beneath it.'
