Bayhaqi 14367 — What may be given as a dowry
فَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْكَارِزِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ: " قَوْلُهُ نَوَاةٌ يَعْنِي خَمْسَةَ دَرَاهِمَ قَالَ: وَخَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمَ تُسَمَّى نَوَاةَ ذَهَبٍ، كَمَا تُسَمَّى الْأَرْبَعُونَ أُوقِيَّةً، وَكَمَا تُسَمَّى الْعِشْرُونَ نَشًّا ".
Abu Ubayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Nawah (a date stone) means five dirhams; five dirhams are called "a nawah of gold," just as forty are called an uqiyah and twenty are called a nashsh.
