-- Jabir said, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When one of you asksa woman in marriage, then if he is able that he should look into what invites him to have her in marriage, he should do it.

(A Manual of Hadith by. Maulana Muhammad Ali).
-- Ibn Abbas said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sacrificed a ram each in the case of Hassan and Hussain. (Abu Dawud,
Mishkat).
(A Manual of Hadith by. Maulana Muhammad Ali).
-- Abu Huraira reported, The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A woman is married on account of four things; on account of her wealth, on account of (the nobility) of the family, and her beauty, and on account of her character (NOTE 31)
(Bukhari).
(A Manual of Hadith by. Maulana Muhammad Ali).
-- Ai'sha said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Make the marriage publicly known, and perform it in mosques and beat at it with duff.(NOTE 32)
(Tirmidhi, Mishkat).

-- Ibn Umar reported, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When one of you is invited to a marriage feast, he should go to it.

-- Ali reported, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade temporary marriage with women, and the eating of domestic asses, on the day of Khaibar. (NOTE 33)

-- Umm Kurz said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "In the case of a boy, two goats, and in the case of a girl, one goat (should be sacrificed). (NOTE 34)
(Tirmidhi, Mishkat).
(A Manual of Hadith by. Maulana Muhammad Ali).
(NOTE 31)
Religion in contrast with the other three, builds character, and hence the word din carries the significance of character here.
(NOTE 32)
Duff or daff is the tambourine, and the object of beating with daff at marriage is to make it publicly known. It also furnishes a kind of music.
(NOTE 33)
The technical word for temporary marriage is mut'ah. It is derived from mata meaning profiting for a long time. Mut'ah is considered to be a legal form of marriage by the Shi'ahs, but the vast majority of the Muslim community rejects it in the basis of this hadith quoted here. The Holy Quran uses the word ihsan (lit. being inaccessible) for marriage, and thus looks upon marriage as a permanent relation which can be cut off only by divorce. For all of the kinds of sexual relationship it uses the word safah, which signifies fornication. According to some hadith, mut'ah was allowed by the Holy Prophet in a war. Even if this be true, it may have been allowed at an earlier stage, reform having been brought about gradually, but there is not the least doubt that it was finally disallowed.
(NOTE 34)
This is the general practice, but as the next hadith shows, one goat sufficed in the case of a boy as well. It is only for those who can afford it.
