Encouragement to keep dowry simple
Hadith 648
اَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوْسٰی، عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَارِثِ۔ وَهُوَ جَابِرٌ۔ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ رَّسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: (خَیْرُ کُنَّ اَیْسَرُکُنَّ) صِدَاقًا۔ قَالَ: فَکَانَ مُجَاهِدٌ یَقُوْلُ: اِنْ کَانَ دِرْهَمًا فَهُوَ حَلَالٌ۔.
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "The best among your women is the one whose dowry is the easiest among you." Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: Even if it is one dirham, it is lawful.
