458. To one who has offered you some of his wealth
When Saad (RA) wanted to give half of his family and wealth, Abdur Rahman (RA) said -
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ
BaarakAllahu laka fee 'ahlika wa maalika
May Allah bless you in your family and your property.
`Abdur-Rahman (RA) then said, "Where is your market?" So they showed him the Qainuqa' market. (He went there and) returned with a profit in the form of dried yogurt and butter. He continued going (to the market) till one day he came, bearing the traces of yellow scent. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What is this (scent)?" He replied, "I got married." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "How much Mahr did you give her?" He replied, "I gave her a datestone of gold or a gold piece equal to the weight of a date-stone." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Arrange a marriage banquet even with a sheep.
