Bayhaqi 14350 — It is recommended to be moderate in the dowry

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، قَدْ سَمَّاهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ يَقُولُ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَخْطُبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَتَهُ وَذَكَرْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا شَيْءَ لِي ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ عَائِدَتَهُ وَصِلَتَهُ فَخَطَبْتُهَا فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ دِرْعُكَ الْحُطَمِيَّةُ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا فِي يَوْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ " قَالَ: هِيَ عِنْدِي قَالَ: " فَأَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهَا ".
Ibn Abi Najih narrates from his father, who named a man who heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in Kufah saying: I intended to propose to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for his daughter in marriage, but I remembered that I had nothing at all. Then I remembered his (peace and blessings be upon him) kindness and generosity, so I made the proposal. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is the Hutami coat of mail that I gave you on such-and-such a day?" He said: It is with me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give it to her."
