حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

قَالَ: مَا أَوْلَمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ، مَا أَوْلَمَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ أَوْلَمَ بِشَاةٍ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not give a better wedding banquet on the occasion of marrying any of his wives than the one he gave on marrying Zainab, and that banquet was with (consisted of) one sheep.

আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যখন কোন বিয়ে করেন, তখন ওয়ালীমা করেন, কিন্তু যাইনাব (রাঃ)-এর বিয়ের সময় যে পরিমাণ ওয়ালীমার ব্যবস্থা করেছিলেন, তা অন্য কারো বেলায় করেননি। সেই ওয়ালীমা ছিল একটি ছাগল দিয়ে। [৪৭৯১]

ہم سے سلیمان بن حرب نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے حماد بن زید نے بیان کیا، ان سے ثابت بنانی نے اور ان سے انس رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے زینب رضی اللہ عنہا جیسا ولیمہ اپنی بیویوں میں سے کسی کا نہیں کیا، ان کا ولیمہ آپ نے ایک بکری کا کیا تھا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Harb] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad] dari [Tsabit] dari [Anas] ia berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tidak pernah mengadakan walimah terhadap seorang pun dari isteri-isterinya sebagaimana walimah yang beliau adakan atas pernikahannya dengan Zainab. Saat itu, beliau mengadakan walimah dengan seekor kambing

Enes r.a.'den, dedi ki: "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in, Zeyneb ile evliliği dolayısıyla verdiği velimeyi hanımlarından hiçbirisi dolayısıyla vermiş değildir. Onunla evliliği dolayısıyla bir koyun ile düğün yemeği vermişti

What it means

This Hadīth informs us that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) married one of the Mothers of the Believers and held a wedding dinner, for which just two Mudds of barley were cooked; nothing else was available, and this signifies the Prophet's limited resources. Nevertheless, he did not neglect this Sunnah, despite his difficult situation.

And this proves that a wedding dinner can be held with less than a sheep, and also that it is valid to hold a wedding dinner with the food that is available, as one is required to offer what is within one’s ability.
