Bayhaqi 14332 — Marriage is contracted without a dowry
قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ: {وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ أَوْ تَفْرِضُوا لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً وَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ}.
Allah, exalted be His praise, says: "There is no sin upon you if you divorce women before you have touched them or fixed a dower for them, and (in that case) give them some provision (mut'ah)." [Surah al-Baqarah: 236]
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الزَّاهِدُ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ السُّلَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْأَصْبَغِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَرَّانِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ: " أَتَرْضَى أَنْ أُزَوِّجَكَ فُلَانَةَ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: " أَتَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ أُزَوِّجَكِ فُلَانًا؟ "، فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَزَوَّجَ أَحَدَهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، وَلَمْ يَفْرِضْ لَهَا صَدَاقًا وَلَمْ يُعْطِهَا شَيْئًا، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ، وَكَانَ مَنْ شَهِدَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ لَهُ سَهْمٌ بِخَيْبَرَ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَوَّجَنِي فُلَانَةَ، وَلَمْ أَفْرِضْ لَهَا صَدَاقًا، وَلَمْ أُعْطِهَا شَيْئًا، وَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي أَعْطَيْتُهَا صَدَاقَهَا سَهْمِي بِخَيْبَرَ، فَأَخَذَتْ سَهْمًا فَبَاعَتْهُ بِمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " خَيْرُ الصَّدَاقِ أَيْسَرُهُ "،.
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man: "Shall I marry you to such-and-such a woman; are you pleased?" He said: "Yes." And he asked the woman: "Shall I marry you to such-and-such a man; are you pleased?" She too said: "Yes." So their marriage was concluded without a dower and without anything being given. That man had been present at Hudaybiyah, and a share in Khaybar had been set aside for those people. When his death approached, he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married me to such-and-such a woman without a dower and without my giving anything, and I make you witnesses that I have given her my share of Khaybar as her dower." So she took that share and sold it for one hundred thousand. The narrator said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best dower is the one that is easiest."
