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)

"She should have a Mahr like that of women like her, no less and no more; she has to observe the 'Iddah, and she is entitled to inherit." Ma'qil bin Sinan Al-Ashja'i stood up and said: "The Messenger of Allah passed a similar judgment among us concerning Birwa' bint Washiq." And Ibn Masud rejoiced at that.

[Machine] "Abdullah narrated that there was a man who married a woman without giving her any dowry, nor did he consummate the marriage with her. Then, he passed away from her. The Prophet ﷺ ruled that she should receive her bridal gift, observe the waiting period (iddah), and inherit from him. Ma'qil al-Ashja'i said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled similarly regarding Bura' bint Washiq, a woman from the Banu Ru'as tribe.' Hearing this, Muhammad and Sufyan rejoiced, and both said, 'We will follow this ruling.'"

[Machine] Narrated by Abdullah, a man married a woman but died before consummating the marriage or establishing the dowry for her. The narrator says that the full dowry must be given to the woman, she must observe the waiting period (iddah), and she is entitled to her inheritance. Maqil ibn Sinan stood up and said, "I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in a similar case involving Burwa bint Washiq." This hadith is considered authentic and includes the mention of Maqil ibn Sinan as a famous companion. It was narrated by Yazid ibn Harun, who was one of the reliable hadith narrators, alongside Abdur Rahman ibn Mahdi and others with a different authentic chain of narration. Similarly, (the ruling applies to this case).
