SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 34: SALES AND TRADE
When Abdur-Rahman bin Auf came to Medina, the Prophet established a bond of brotherhood
between him and Sad bin Ar-Rabi al-Ansari. Sad was a rich man, so he said to ‘Abdur-Rahman, “I
will give you half of my property and will help you marry.” ‘Abdur-Rahman said (to him), “May Al –
lah bless you in your family and property. Show me the market.” So ‘Abdur-Rahman did not return
from the market) till he gained some dried buttermilk (yoghurt) and butter (through trading). He
brought that to his house-hold. We stayed for some-time (or as long as Allah wished), and then Ab –
dur-Rahman came, scented with yellowish perfume. The Prophet said (to him) “What is this?” He
replied, “I got married to an Ansari woman.” The Prophet asked, “What did you pay her?” He replied,
“A gold stone or gold equal to the weight of a date stone.” The Prophet said (to him), “Give a wedding
banquet even if with one sheep.”

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet paid a visit to Um-Sulaim and she placed before him dates and ghee. The Prophet
said, “Replace the ghee and dates in their respective containers for I am fasting.” Then he stood some –
where in her house and offered an optional prayer and then he invoked good on Um-Sulaim and her
family. Then Um-Sulaim said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have a special request (today).” He said, “What is
it?” She replied, “(Please invoke for) your servant Anas.” So Allah’s Apostle did not leave anything
good in the world or the Hereafter which he did not invoke (Allah to bestow) on me and said, “O Al –
lah! Give him (i.e. Anas) property and children and bless him.” Thus I am one of the richest among
the Ansar and my daughter Umaina told me that when A-Hajjaj came to Basra, more than 120 of my
offspring had been buried.

if one wanted to see him sleeping at night, one could see him (in that condition) too.

during the night.”
