وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ ، أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ وَهِيَ مُصَدَّقَةٌ ، قَالَتْ : بَيْنَمَا أَبِي فِي غَزَاةٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَدْ رَمِضُوا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : مَنْ يُعْطِينِي نَعْلَيْهِ وَأُنْكِحُهُ أَوَّلَ ابْنَةٍ تَلِدُ لِي ؟ فَخَلَعَ أَبِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَأَلْقَاهُمَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَوُلِدَ لِلرَّجُلِ جَارِيَةٌ فَبَلَغَتْ ، فَقَالَ أَبِي : اجْمَعْ إِلَيَّ أَهْلِي ، فَقَالَ : هَلُمَّ الصَّدَاقَ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَا أَزِيدُكَ عَلَى مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ ، لِلنَّعْلَيْنِ .
فَقَالَ : آللهِ ، لَا أُعْطِيكَهَا إِلَّا بِصَدَاقٍ . فَأَتَى أَبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ تَدَعُهَا فَلَا تَحْنَثُ ، وَلَا تُحْنِثُ صَاحِبَكَ " . فَتَرَكَهَا أَبِي .
قُلْتُ : أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ : فَبَلَغَتْ . ثُمَّ أَحَالَ بَقِيَّتَهُ عَلَى حَدِيثِ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ كَرْدَمٍ .

It is narrated from Sayyidah (a female Companion whose truthfulness was attested) that she said: "My father took part in a campaign in the Days of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah), where people's feet were being scorched by the intense heat of the ground. Then a man called out: Who will give me his sandals, and in return I will marry to him the first daughter born to me? My father took off his sandals and threw them to him. Later a daughter was born to that man, and when she reached maturity, my father demanded: Hand my wife over to me. The man said: Bring her dowry. My father replied: By Allah! I will not give anything more than these sandals. The man said: By Allah! I will not hand her over to you without a dowry. Then my father came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about this, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Shall I not tell you something better than that? Leave her; in this way you will neither break your oath nor make your companion break his oath.' So my father gave up his claim." I (Ibn Hajar) say: Imam Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded this narration through this same route up to the word "fabalaghat" (and she reached maturity), and then referred the rest of the text to the hadith of Sayyidah Maymunah bint Kardam (may Allah be pleased with her).
