Anas bin ‘Malik said “The Prophet ﷺ manumitted Safiyyah and made her manumission her dower.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2054)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «أَعْتَقَ صَفِيَّةَ وَجَعَلَ عِتْقَهَا صَدَاقَهَا»  

that the Prophet said: “The conditions most deserving to be fulfilled are those by means of which the private parts become permissible for you.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1954)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَحَقُّ الشُّرُوطِ أَنْ يُوَفَّى بِهِ مَا اسْتَحْلَلْتُمْ بِهِ الْفُرُوجَ»  

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, I have offered myself to you. When she stood for a long time, a man got up and said: Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need for her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Have you anything to give her as dower ? He replied: I have nothing by this lower garment of mine. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you give your lower garment, you will sit while you have no lower garment. So look for something else. He said: I do not find anything. He said: Look for something, even though it should be an iron ring. The man sought it but found nothing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do you know anything from the Qur'an ? He said: Yes, I know surah so and so, which he named. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have given you her in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2111)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ فَقَامَتْ طَوِيلًا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ بِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُصْدِقُهَا إِيَّاهُ» فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا إِزَارِي هَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَعْطَيْتَهُ إِيَّاهَا جَلَسْتَ لَا إِزَارَ لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ شَيْئًا» فَقَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ «فَالْتَمِسْ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ» قَالَ نَعَمْ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَسُورَةُ كَذَا لِسُوَرٍ سَمَّاهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allahﷺ and said, "I have married a woman." He asked, "How much did you give as mahr (dowry)?" The man replied, "Four awqiya (a measurement of weight)." The Prophetﷺ said, "Four awqiya, it is as if you are carving silver from the width of this mountain."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ «كَمْ أَصْدَقْتَهَا» فَقَالَ أَرْبَعَ أَوَاقٍ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَرْبَعَ أَوَاقٍ كَأَنَّمَا تَنْحِتُونَ الْفِضَّةَ مِنْ عَرَضِ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ»  

[Machine] "According to the messenger of Allah ﷺ , the goodness of a woman lies in making her affairs easy and her dowry being modest." Urwah said, "I also say that from my observation, when a woman is unlucky, her matters become difficult and her dowry becomes large."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مِنْ يُمْنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَسْهِيلُ أَمْرِهَا وَقِلَّةُ صَدَاقِهَا» قَالَ عُرْوَةُ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ مِنْ عِنْدِي وَمِنْ شُؤْمِهَا تَعْسِيرُ أَمْرِهَا وَكَثْرَةُ صَدَاقِهَا «  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ met Abdurrahman ibn Awf while he had a small wound on his face due to a skin condition. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "What happened, Abdurrahman?" He replied, "I married a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "How much did you give as dowry?" He replied, "I gave her the weight of a date stone in gold." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You should have taught her even if it was just a sheep." Anas said, "I saw him later dividing one of his wives' wealth among a hundred thousand women, after his death."  

لَقِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَبِهِ وَضَرٌ مِنْ خَلُوقٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَهْيَمْ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ» قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ «كَمْ أَصْدَقْتَهَا» قَالَ وَزْنَ نَوَاةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ قَسَّمَ لِكُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ  

"The dowry, when the Messenger of Allah was among us, was ten Awaq." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3348)   

كَانَ «صَدَاقُنَا إِذْ كَانَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشْرَ أَوَاقٍ»  

Masruq said on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud ) was asked about a man who had married a woman without cohabiting with her or fixing any dower for her till he died. Ibn Mas'ud said: She should receive the full dower (as given to women of her class), observe the waiting period ('Iddah), and have her share of inheritance. Thereupon Ma'qil ibn Sinan said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ giving the same decision regarding Birwa' daughter of Washiq (as the decision you have given). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2114)   

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَفْرِضْ فَقَالَ لَهَا الصَّدَاقُ كَامِلًا وَعَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ وَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ قَالَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ «شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِهِ فِي بِرْوَعَ بِنْتِ وَاشِقٍ»  

This hadith has been narrated on the authority 'Abdullah through another chain of transmitters. (Using translation from Muslim 2425b)  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِمِثْلِهِ  

[Machine] About a man who married a woman but died before consummating the marriage or establishing a dowry for her. He did not say anything on the matter and they went on repeating their marriage for a month. Then he said, "I will state my opinion, if it is right, it is from Allah, and if it is wrong, it is from me. I see that she should receive her husband's dowry and inherit from him, and she is in her waiting period." Fulan Al-Ashji stood up and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in the case of Bura' bint Washiq with the same verdict." Upon hearing this, Abdullah was happy and praised Allah.  

عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَمَاتَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَفْرِضْ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا وَرَدَّدَهُمْ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَقُولُ بِرَأْيِي فَإِنْ كَانَ صَوَابًا فَمِنَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ خَطَأً فَمِنْ قِبَلِي أَرَى لَهَا صَدَاقَ نِسَائِهَا لَا وَكْسَ وَلَا شَطَطَ وَعَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ وَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ فَقَامَ فُلَانٌ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ وَقَالَ «قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بِرْوَعَ بِنْتِ وَاشِقٍ بِمِثْلِ» ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَفَرِحَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بِذَلِكَ وَكَبَّرَ  

"A man among us married a woman, but he did not name a dowry for her, and he did not have intercourse with her before he died." 'Abdullah said: 'Since I left the Messenger of Allah I have never been asked a more difficult question than this. Go to someone else.' They kept coming to him for a month, then at the end of that they said: 'Who shall we ask if we do not ask you? You are one of the most prominent Companions of Muhammad in this land and we cannot find anyone else.' He said: 'I will say what I think, and if it is correct then it is from Allah alone, with no partner, and if it is wrong then it is from me and from the Shaitan, and Allah and His Messenger have nothing to do with it. I think she should be given a dowry like that of her peers and no less, with no injustice, and she may inherit from him, and she has to observe the 'Iddah, four months and ten days.'" He said: "And that was heard by some people from Ashja', who stood up and said: 'We bear witness that you have passed the same judgment as the Messenger of Allah did concerning a woman from among us who was called Birwa' bint Washiq.'" He said: "Abdullah was never seen looking so happy as he did on that day, except with having accepted Islam." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3358)   

عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ مِنَّا وَلَمْ يَفْرِضْ صَدَاقًا وَلَمْ يَجْمَعْهُمَا اللَّهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا سُئِلْتُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَشَدَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ هَذِهِ فَأْتُوا غَيْرِي فَاخْتَلَفُوا إِلَيْهِ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ قَالُوا لَهُ فِي آخِرِ ذَلِكَ مَنْ نَسْأَلُ إِنْ لَمْ نَسْأَلْكَ وَأَنْتَ أُخَيَّةُ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ وَلَا نَجْدُ غَيْرَكَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ سَأَقُولُ فِيهَا بِجَهْدِ رَأْيِي إِنْ كَانَ صَوَابًا فَمِنَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ خَطَأً فَمِنِّي وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ أَرَى أَنْ يُفْرَضَ لَهَا كَصَدَاقِ نِسَائِهَا وَلَا وَكْسَ وَلَا شَطَطَ وَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ وَعَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا وَذَلِكَ بِحَضْرَةِ نَاسٍ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ فَقَالَ «أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَضَيْتَ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي قَضَى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي امْرَأَةٍ مِنَّا يُقَالُ لَهَا بِرْوَعُ بِنْتُ وَاشِقٍ فَمَا رُئِيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَرِحَ بِشَيْءٍ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ كَفَرْحِهِ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ»
