Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 2763
اُردوEn
حدَّثَناه أبو الحسن بن منصور، حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد بن ناجيَة، حدثنا كُردُوس بن محمد أبو الحسن القافِلَاني، حدثنا مُعلَّى بن عبد الرحمن، حدثنا عبد الحميد بن جعفر، عن الزُّهْري، عن سعيد بن المسيّب: أنَّ عمر بن الخطاب قام على مِنبره، فحمِد اللهَ وأثنى عليه، فقال: ألا لا تُغالُوا في صَدُقات النساء، فإنها لو كانت مَكرُمةً في الدنيا أو تقوى عند الله، كان أَولاكُم بها نبيُّكم ﷺ، والله ما زِيدَتِ امرأةٌ من نسائه ولا بناتِه على اثنتي عشرةُ أُوقيّة؛ وذلك أربع مئة درهم وثمانون درهمًا، الأُوقية أربعون درهمًا (2). فقد تواترت الأسانيدُ الصحيحة بصحَّة خطبة أمير المؤمنين عمر بن الخطاب ﵁، وهذا البابُ لي مجموعٌ في جزء كبير، ولم يُخرجاه.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood on the pulpit, praised and glorified Allah, and said: "Take heed! Do not go to excess in the dowries of women, for if this were a matter of honour in this world or of piety with Allah, your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have been the most deserving of it. By Allah, the dowry of none of his (peace and blessings be upon him) pure wives or daughters was raised above twelve uqiyah, which comes to four hundred and eighty dirhams, one uqiyah being forty dirhams."
Sahih chains are mutawatir (mass-transmitted) establishing the authenticity of this sermon of the Commander of the Believers, Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and I have all the narrations on this topic compiled in a large volume (juz'), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

(2) إسناده ضعيف جدًّا من أجل مُعلَّى بن عبد الرحمن، فهو متروك الحديث، واتهمه بعضهم بوضع الحديث، وقد انفرد بهذه الطريق، والصحيح عن سعيد بن المسيب من قوله كما سيأتي. على أنه صحَّ عن عمر بن الخطاب من رواية أبي العَجفاء والسُّلَمي، كما سبق. ¤ ¤ وأخرج ابن أبي شيبة 4/ 188 عن جرير بن عبد الحميد، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن سعيد بن المسيب، قال: السُّنَّة في النكاح اثنا عشر أوقيّة ونصف، فذلك خمس مئة درهم. ورجاله ثقات.
Grading: This isnad is "extremely da'if" because of Mu'alla bin 'Abd al-Rahman; he is "matruk", and some accused him of "fabricating hadith".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Mu'alla is alone in this route, whereas the correct position is that this is the saying of Sa'id bin al-Musayyab himself (mawquf).
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: According to the sound chain of Ibn Abi Shaybah (4/ 188), Sa'id bin al-Musayyab said that the sunnah dowry in marriage is twelve and a half uqiyahs (500 dirhams).
