It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) that I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "What was the dowry of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" She replied: "The dowry of the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was twelve uqiyah and one nash." Then Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Do you know what a nash is?" I said: "No." She said: "Half an uqiyah. This was the dowry of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
