حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أنا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، وَأَيُّوبُ، وَابْنُ عَوْنٍ، وَهِشَامٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، أَمَّا سَلَمَةُ فَقَالَ: نُبِّئْتُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ، وَأَمَّا غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ: عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: " أَلَا لَا تُغَالُوا صُدُقَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا، أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَا أَصْدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ، وَلَا أُصْدِقَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُغَالِي بِصَدَقَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَهَا عَدَاوَةٌ فِي نَفْسِهِ، وَحَتَّى يَقُولُ: كَلِفْتُ إِلَيْكِ عَلَقَ الْقِرْبَةِ وَكُنْتُ غُلَامًا عَرَبِيًّا مُوَلَّدًا فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا عَلَقُ الْقِرْبَةِ، وَأُخْرَى تَقُولُونَهَا فِي مَغَازِيكُمْ هَذِهِ: قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَوْقَرَ عَجُزَ رَاحِلَتِهِ أَوْ دَابَّتِهِ وَرِقًا وَذَهَبًا يَطْلُبُ التِّجَارَةَ، فَلَا تَقُولُوا ذَلِكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَوْ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» . قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ: دَخَلَ حَدِيثُ بَعْضِهِمْ فِي بَعْضٍ
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do not increase the dowries of women. If there were any virtue in this world or a means of piety in the sight of Allah the Exalted, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have been most deserving of it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fix the dowry of any of his wives or daughters at more than twelve uqiyah. A man increases the dowry of his wife so much that enmity arises, to the extent that he says: 'I have carried the burden of a waterskin for you.' And I was a young Arab and did not know the meaning of a waterskin. And you say in battles that so-and-so was martyred, whereas it is possible that he had loaded silver or gold on his mount and had set out with the intention of trade. So do not say this, but rather say as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever is killed in the way of Allah the Exalted is in Paradise.' Isma'il said: 'Some of their words got mixed up with others.'"
