The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) to some people of the Ansar for a marriage proposal. When they refused, Suhaib said: "If it were not for the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would not have done this." They asked: "Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) command you?" He replied: "Yes." So they performed the marriage. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent gold and said: "Take this to your house." And he said to the Companions: "Help your brother in his wedding feast (walimah)."
