Avoid excessive dowries

ahmad:287 – Ismāʿīl > Salamah b. ʿAlqamah > Muḥammad b. Sīrīn > Abū al-ʿAjfāʾ > ʿUmar; Ayyūb > Hishām > Ibn ʿAwn > Muḥammad b. Sīrīn > Abū al-ʿAjfāʾ > ʿUmar

[AI] "Do not go to excess in the dowries of women," and he mentioned the hadith.

أحمد:٢٨٧ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، مَرَّةً أُخْرَى أَخْبَرَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: نُبِّئْتُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ. قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ: وَذَكَرَ أَيُّوبُ، وَهِشَامٌ، وَابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، نَحْوًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَلَمَةَ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: لَمْ يَقُلْ مُحَمَّدٌ: نُبِّئْتُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ.

أَلَا لَا تُغْلُوا صُدُقَ النِّسَاءِ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ.
