Narrated Anas: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saw the trace of yellow on Abdur-Rahman bin Awf. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: What is this ? He replied: Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman. He asked: How much dower did you give her ? He said: A nawat weight of gold. He said: Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone gives as a dower to his wife two handfuls of flour or dates he has made her lawful for him. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Abdur Rahman ibn Mahdi, from Salih ibn Ruman, from Abu al-Zubayr on the authority of Jabir as his own statement (not going back to the Prophet). It has also been transmitted by Abu Asim from Salih ibn Ruman, from Abuz Zubayr on the authority of Jabir who said: During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم we used to contract temporary marriage for a handful of grain. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Juraij from Abu al-Zubair on the authority of Jabir similar to the one narrated by Abu Asim.
