[Machine] I asked Aisha, "How much was the dowry of the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" She said, "His dowry for his wives was twelve uqiyyas of silver and some sheeps." She also asked, "Do you know what sheeps are?" I said, "No." She said, "Half a uqiyya. So this was the dowry of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for his wives."  

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ كَمْ كَانَ صَدَاقُ أَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ «كَانَ صَدَاقُهُ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَنَشًّا» وَقَالَتْ «أَتَدْرِي مَا النَّشُّ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَتْ نِصْفُ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَهَذَا صَدَاقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ  

[Machine] Do not exaggerate in the dowry of women, for if it were honorable in this world or a means of righteousness before Allah, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would have been the most truthful in his attachment to his wives. No man has ever believed in a woman more than her own husband, and no woman has ever believed in a man more than her own father, even if she were given in marriage for twelve ounces of gold. And behold, one of you may exaggerate in the dowry of his wife until there remains animosity towards her in his heart, and he might even say, "I spent my dowry on you, whether it was the high status or the low status."  

أَلَا لَا تُغَالُوا فِي صُدُقِ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَصْدَقَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَلَا أُصْدِقَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً أَلَا وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيُغَالِي بِصَدَاقِ امْرَأَتِهِ حَتَّى يَبْقَى لَهَا فِي نَفْسِهِ عَدَاوَةٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ «كَلِفْتُ لْكِ عَلَقَ الْقِرْبَةِ أَوْ عَرَقَ الْقِرْبَةِ»
