AbulAjfa' as-Sulami said: Umar (Allah be pleased with him) delivered a speech to us and said: Do not go to extremes in giving women their dower, for if it represented honour in this world and piety in Allah's sight, the one of you most entitled to do so would have been the Prophet (PBUH). The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not marry any of his wives or gave any of his daughters in marriage for more than twelve uqiyahs. Translation Not Available

Chapter: On The Dowry Being Some Actions That He Must PerformNarrated Sahl b. Sa'd al-Sa'idi : A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) 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 (PBUH) asked: Have you anything to give her as dower ? He replied: I have nothing by this lower garment of mine. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) 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 (PBUH) 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 (PBUH) said: I have given you her in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know. Translation Not Available
