Hadith 713
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : ثني عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ، قَالَ : ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، قَالَ : أنا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَزَوَّجَهَا وَهِيَ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ ، زَوَّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ النَّجَاشِيُّ ، وَأَمْهَرَهَا أَرْبَعَةَ آلافٍ ، وَجَهَّزَهَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ ، وَبَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ حَسَنَةَ ، وَلَمْ يَبْعَثْ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ ، وَكَانَ مَهْرُ نِسَائِهِ أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ " .
Lady Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her, she was in the land of Abyssinia. The Negus performed her marriage to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and gave her four thousand (dirhams) as dowry and trousseau from his own side, and sent her with Shurahbil bin Hasanah (to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not send anything to her, and the dowry of his (other) wives was four hundred dirhams.
