A man and woman who disagree over the mahr

Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The man's word will be accepted.

Hammad and Ibn Dhakwan (may Allah have mercy on them both) said: The woman's word will be accepted, up to the amount of the dowry of her peers (mahr al-mithl).

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If the woman's claim is less than the dowry of her peers (mahr al-mithl), the woman's word will be accepted.

Sa'id bin Jubayr and al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on them both) said: If a man married a woman for a deferred dowry and a prompt dowry, and then the man consummated the marriage, testimony will have to be established that he has paid the dowry.

And (it is reported) through Isma'il bin Salim from al-Sha'bi that both of them (Sa'id bin Jubayr and al-Sha'bi) said about a man who married a woman for a prompt and a deferred dowry and then consummated the marriage with her: He must bring his proof that he handed it over to her.
