Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 570 — he said: O people! Do not go to excess
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ : نَا أَبِي ، وَعَمِّي ، قَالَا : نَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ : نَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ وَالْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ السَّلَمِيِّ .
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، I " لَا تُغَالُوا بِصَدَاقِ النِّسَاءِ ، فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً عِنْدَ النَّاسِ ، أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللهِ ، لَكَانَ أَحَقَّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، لَمْ يَنْكِحِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ ، وَلَا أَنْكَحَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ إِلَّا عَلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَنَشٍّ . وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيُغَالِي بِصَدَاقِ الْمَرْأَةِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ : أَمَا كَلِفْتُ إِلَيْكِ عَلَقَ الْقِرْبَةِ قَالَ : وَكُنْتُ غُلَامًا مُوَلَّدًا ، فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا عَلَقُ الْقِرْبَةِ ؟ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ إِلَّا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "O people! Do not go to excess in (fixing) the dowries (mahr) of women, for if it were a source of honour and nobility in this world, or a sign of piety with Allah, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would have been the most entitled to it. the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not marry any of his pure wives, nor did he give any of his daughters in marriage, except for twelve uqiyah and a nashsh (half an uqiyah). And indeed one of you goes to such excess in a woman's dowry that he exclaims: 'For your sake I have endured (as much hardship as) the strap of a waterskin.'"
Abu al-Ajfa' al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I was a young boy at that time, so I did not understand what was meant by 'alaq al-qirbah (the strap of a waterskin).
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated these ahadith from al-Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Suwayd bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him)."
