Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give them a compensation (that is, a dowry), even if it is a whip." The narrator says: That is, do this in marriage.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
