Musnad Ahmad 15706 — Hadith of Abu Hadard al-Aslami
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ , عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَفْتِيهِ فِي مَهْرِ امْرَأَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : " كَمْ أَمْهَرْتَهَا ؟ " قَالَ : مِئَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ , فَقَالَ : " لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَغْرِفُونَ مِنْ بَطَحَانَ مَا زِدْتُمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hadard Aslami that once he came to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with a request for assistance regarding the dowry of his wife. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "How much dowry did you fix for her?" He said, "Two hundred dirhams." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Even if you had drawn handfuls of water from Bathan, you would not have added more than this."
