Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (RA) reported: A woman came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Messenger of Allah, I have come to you to entrust myself to you (you may contract my marriage with anyone at your discretion). Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw her and cast a glance at her from head to foot. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then lowered his head. When the woman saw that he had made no decision in regard to her, she sat down. There stood up a person from amongst his companions and said: Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need of her. He (the Holy Prophet) said: is there anything with you (which you can give as a dower)? He said: No, Messenger of Allah, by Allah I have nothing. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Go to your people (family) and see if you can find something. He returned and said: I have found nothing. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: See even if it is an Iron ring. He went and returned and said: No, by God, not even an iron ring, but only this lower garment of mine (Sahl said that he had no upper garment), half of which (I am prepared to part with) for her. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: How can your lower garment serve your purpose, for if you wear it, she would not be able to make any use of it and if she wears it there would not be anything on you? The man sat down and as the sitting prolonged he stood up (in disappointment) and as he was going back Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded (him) to be called back, and as he came, he said to him: Do you know any part of the Qur'an? He said: I know such and such surahs (and he counted them), whereupon he said: Can you recite them from heart (from your memory)? He said: Yes, whereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: Go, I have given her to you in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sahl bin Sa'd with a minor alteration of words, but the hadith transmitted through Za'idah (the words are that the Holy Prophet) said: Go, I have married her to you, and you teach her something of the Qur'an.

Abu Salama bin 'Abdul Rahman reported: I asked 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): What is the amount of dower of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ? She said: It was twelve 'uqiyas and one nash. She said: Do you know what is al-nash? I said: No. She said: It is half of uqiya, and it amounts to five hundred dirhams, and that was the dower given by Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to his wives.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw the trace of yellowness on 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf and said: What is this? Thereupon he said: Allah's Messenger, I have married a woman for a date-stone's weight of gold. He said: God bless you! Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf (RA) married during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) for a nawat weight of gold and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Give a feast even with a sheep.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf (RA) married a woman for a date-stone's weight of gold and Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Humaid with the same chain of transmitters except (with this minor alteration of words) that 'Abdul Rahman said: "I married a woman."

Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw the signs of the happiness of wedding in me, and I said: I have married a woman of the Ansar. He said: How much Mahr have you paid? I said: For a date-stone weight of gold. And in the hadith transmitted by Ishaq (it is): (nawat weight) of gold.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that 'Abdul Rahman married a woman for a datestone weight of gold.

Shu'bah has narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters except for (this alteration) that he said that a person from among the sons of 'Abd al Rahman said: "from gold".
