"عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: رَكِبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ الْمِنْبَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! مَا إكْثَارُكُمْ في صَدَاقِ النِّسَاءِ! وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَإِنَّمَا الصَّداقُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ أَرْبَعُمِائةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَمَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ، فَلَوْ كَانَ الإكْثَارُ فِي ذَلِكَ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللهِ أَوْ مَكْرُمَةً لَمْ تَسْبِقُوهُمْ إِلَيْهَا".
