We relate with ṣaḥīḥ isnāds from the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd, at-Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah and others, that Abū Hurayrah 
reported that when the Prophet 
congratulated a man when he had married he said: “May Allah bless you, shower blessings on you, and unite you in goodness.” [3].According to at-Tirmidhī, this is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith.
