حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: " أَلَا لَا تُغَالُوا فِي صُدُقِ النِّسَاءِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً عِنْدَ النَّاسِ، أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ وَأَحَقَّكُمْ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , مَا نَكَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ، وَلَا أَنْكَحَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيُغْلِي بِصَدْقَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ عَدَاوَةً فِي نَفْسِهِ، وَيَقُولُ لَهَا: لَقَدْ كَلِفْتُ إِلَيْكِ عَلَقَ الْقِرْبَةِ قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ شَابًّا فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا عَلَقُ الْقِرْبَةِ وَأُخْرَى تَقُولُونَهَا فِي مَغَازِيكُمْ: قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا وَلَعَلَّهُ أَوْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَوْقَرَ دَفَّ رَاحِلَتِهِ أَوْ عَجُزَهَا وَرِقًا أَوْ ذَهَبًا يَبْتَغِي الدُّنْيَا، وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَوْ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ»
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Beware! Do not increase the dowries of women. If this were a matter of honor among people or a cause of piety in the sight of Allah the Exalted, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have been the most deserving of it among you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not marry off any of his wives or daughters for a dowry more than twelve uqiyah. One of you increases the dowry for his wife so much that it creates enmity in her heart, and he says: 'I have endured hardship for you, dragged the ropes of the waterskin.' And another thing you say in your gatherings is that so-and-so has been martyred, whereas it is possible that he was loading silver or gold onto his camel or mount to acquire worldly wealth. So say as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr.'"
