Hadith 2106
حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ
أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا
عُمَرُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا لَا تُغَالُوا بِصُدُقِ النِّسَاءِ ، فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَكَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مَا أَصْدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ ، وَلَا أُصْدِقَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً " .
Abul Ajfa as-Sulami said: Umar (Allah be pleased with him) delivered a speech to us and said: Do not go to extremes in giving women their dower, for if it represented honour in this world and piety in Allah's sight, the one of you most entitled to do so would have been the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not marry any of his wives or gave any of his daughters in marriage for more than twelve uqiyahs.
Hadith 2107
Urwah reported on the authority of Umm Habibah that she was married to Abdullah ibn Jahsh who died in Abyssinia, so the Negus married her to the Prophet ﷺ giving her on his behalf a dower of four thousand (dirhams). He sent her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with Shurahbil ibn Hasanah. Abu Dawud said: Hasanah is his mother.
Hadith 2108
Az-Zuhri said: The Negus married Umm Habibah daughter of Abu Sufyan to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a dower of four thousand dirhams. He wrote it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who accepted it.
