`Abdur Rahman bin `Auf said, "When we came to Medina as emigrants, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) established a
bond of brotherhood between me and Sa`d bin Ar-Rabi`. Sa`d bin Ar-Rabi` said (to me), 'I am the
richest among the Ansar, so I will give you half of my wealth and you may look at my two wives and
whichever of the two you may choose I will divorce her, and when she has completed the prescribed
period (before marriage) you may marry her.' `Abdur-Rahman replied, "I am not in need of all that. Is
there any marketplace where trade is practiced?' He replied, "The market of Qainuqa." `Abdur-
Rahman went to that market the following day and brought some dried buttermilk (yogurt) and butter,
and then he continued going there regularly. Few days later, `Abdur-Rahman came having traces of
yellow (scent) on his body. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked him whether he had got married. He replied in the
affirmative. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Whom have you married?' He replied, 'A woman from the Ansar.' Then
the Prophet (ﷺ) asked, 'How much did you pay her?' He replied, '(I gave her) a gold piece equal in weigh
to a date stone (or a date stone of gold)! The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Give a Walima (wedding banquet) even if
with one sheep .' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 34, Hadith 2
“O Jibril, what is this
good
fragrance?” He said: “This is the fragrance of the grave of
the
hairdresser and her two sons and her husband.” He said: “That
began
when Khadir, who was one of the nobles of the Children of
Israel, used
to pass by a monk in his cell. The monk used to meet him
and he taught
him Islam. When Khadir reached adolescence, his father
married him to
a woman. He taught her and made her promise not to
teach it to anyone.
He used not to touch women, so he divorced her,
then his father
married him to another woman, and he taught her and
made her promise
not to teach it to anyone. One of them kept the
secret but the other
disclosed it, so he fled until he came to an
island in the sea. Two
men came, gathering firewood, and saw him. One
of them kept the secret
but the other disclosed it and said: ‘I
have seen Khadir.’ It was
said: ‘Who else saw him besides you?’
He said: ‘So-and-so.’ (The other
man) was questioned but he kept
silent. According to their religion,
the liar was to be killed. The
woman who had kept the secret got
married, and while she was combing
the hair of Pharoah’s daughter, she
dropped the comb and said: ‘May
Pharoah perish!’ (The daughter) told
her father about that. The
woman had two sons and a husband. (Pharoah)
sent for them, and tried
to make the woman and her husband give up
their religion, but they
refused. He said: ‘I am going to kill you.’
They said: ‘It
would be an act of kindness on your part, if you kill
us, to put us
in one grave.’ So he did that.” When the Prophet (ﷺ)
was taken
on the Night Journey (Isra’), he noticed a good fragrance
and asked
Jibril about it and he told him.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 105
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, did not have to choose between two matters, but
that he chose the easier of them as long as it was not a wrong action.
If it was a wrong action, he was the furthest of people from it. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not
take revenge for himself unless the limits of Allah were violated.
Then he took revenge for it for Allah."
Muwatta Malik Book 47, Hadith 2
