Hadith 3342
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " تَزَوَّجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ، فَكَانَ صِدَاقُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْإِسْلَامَ أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ قَبْلَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، فَخَطَبَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ ، فَإِنْ أَسْلَمْتَ نَكَحْتُكَ ، فَأَسْلَمَ فَكَانَ صِدَاقَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا " .
´It was narrated that Anas said:` "Abu Talhah married Umm Sulaim and the dowry between them was Islam. Umm Sulaim became Muslim before Abu Talhah, and he proposed to her but she said: 'I have become Muslim; if you become Muslim I will marry you.' So he became Muslim, and that was the dowry between them."
Hadith 3343
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ بْنِ مُسَاوِرٍ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " خَطَبَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : وَاللَّهِ مَا مِثْلُكَ يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ يُرَدُّ وَلَكِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ كَافِرٌ ، وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِي أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَكَ ، فَإِنْ تُسْلِمْ ، فَذَاكَ مَهْرِي وَمَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَهُ ، فَأَسْلَمَ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مَهْرَهَا ، قَالَ ثَابِتٌ : فَمَا سَمِعْتُ بِامْرَأَةٍ قَطُّ كَانَتْ أَكْرَمَ مَهْرًا مِنْ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ الْإِسْلَامَ فَدَخَلَ بِهَا فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ .
´It was narrated that Anas said:` "Abu Talhah proposed marriage to Umm Sulaim and she said: 'By Allah, a man like you is not to be rejected, O Abu Talhah, but you are a disbeliever and I am a Muslim, and it is not permissible for me to marry you. If you become Muslim, that will be my dowry, and I will not ask you for anything else.' So he became Muslim and that was her dowry." (one of the narrators) Thabit said: "I have never heard of a woman whose dowry was more precious than Umm Sulaim (whose dowry was) Islam. And he consummated the marriage with her, and she bore him a child."
