Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1427f
This hadith about gold as mahr gives a very brief report from Anas b. Malik. It says that Abd al-Rahman married a woman for a date-stone weight of gold. Unlike some related wordings, this narration does not mention the wedding feast or the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم direct words. Its focus is only on the marriage and the amount connected to it. That makes it useful for readers searching for mahr in Islam hadith, gold mahr hadith, or date-stone weight of gold. The narration should be read as a short report of what happened, without adding details that are not present in this specific text.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report mentions a known mahr amount in gold.
- The narration is brief and should not be expanded beyond its wording.
- Anas preserved the marriage detail of Abd al-Rahman b. Auf.
