The story mentioned is a wonderful example of the generosity of the Ansar and their solidarity with the Muhajireen. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, established brotherhood between Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf and Sa'd ibn al-Rabi'. Sa'd offered to divide his wealth and possessions with Abd al-Rahman, but Abd al-Rahman refused and instead married a woman from the Ansar and gave a wedding feast, even if only with one sheep. The presence of this story in al-Bukhari is strong evidence of its authenticity, and Sheikh Al-Albani also authenticated it.
