Sahih Muslim Book - 16, Hadith - 3486

وَحَدَّثَنِى يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِى حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ إِنِّى تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « هَلْ نَظَرْتَ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّ فِى عُيُونِ الأَنْصَارِ شَيْئًا ». قَالَ قَدْ نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا. قَالَ « عَلَى كَمْ تَزَوَّجْتَهَا ». قَالَ عَلَى أَرْبَعِ أَوَاقٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « عَلَى أَرْبَعِ أَوَاقٍ كَأَنَّمَا تَنْحِتُونَ الْفِضَّةَ مِنْ عُرْضِ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ مَا عِنْدَنَا مَا نُعْطِيكَ وَلَكِنْ عَسَى أَنْ نَبْعَثَكَ فِى بَعْثٍ تُصِيبُ مِنْهُ ». قَالَ فَبَعَثَ بَعْثًا إِلَى بَنِى عَبْسٍ بَعَثَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ فِيهِمْ.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: 'I have married a woman from among the Ansar.' The Prophet (s.a.w) said to him: 'Did you look at her? For there is something in the eyes of the Ansar.' He said: 'I looked at her.' He said: 'For how much did you marry her?' He said: 'For four Uqiyah.' The Prophet (s.a.w) said to him: 'For four Uqiyah? It is as if you are going to dig the silver out from the side of this mountain. We do not have anything to give you, but perhaps we will send you on an expedition and you will get something from it.' And he sent an expedition to Banu 'Abs, and he sent that man with them."
