حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ
أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ
ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ
أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ : قَالَ
عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : أَلَا لَا تُغَالُوا صَدُقَةَ النِّسَاءِ ، فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ، لَكَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، " مَا عَلِمْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَكَحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَلَا أَنْكَحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَأَبُو الْعَجْفَاءِ السُّلَمِيُّ اسْمُهُ : هَرِمٌ ، وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا ، وَثِنْتَا عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً أَرْبَعُ مِائَةٍ وَثَمَانُونَ دِرْهَمًا .
Abu Al-Ajfa’ Salmi says that Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Listen! Do not increase the dowries of women excessively. If it were something honorable in this world or a matter of piety with Allah, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would have been the most deserving of it. I do not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married any of his wives or gave any of his daughters in marriage with a dowry more than twelve uqiyah. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Sahih,
2- The name of Abu Al-Ajfa’ Salmi is Haram,
3- According to the scholars, one uqiyah is forty dirhams, thus twelve uqiyah is four hundred and eighty dirhams.
