Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Makhul narrate: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever dowry or promise by which a woman's private part is made lawful, that belongs to the woman; and whatever by which the woman's father or brother is honoured, or her guardian is honoured, after the marriage contract has been concluded, that belongs to that person; and a man is most entitled to that by which he is honoured on account of his daughter or sister (that is, what is given to him as a gift by the son-in-law)."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its chain is munqati' (broken); its chain contains a narrator, Hajjaj bin Artah, and he is a mudallis (one who conceals defects in the chain).
