Sunan an-Nasai 3340 (Book 26, Hadith 145) #17952
Dowry of Islam

SUMMARY: Abu Talhah and Umm Sulaim's dowry was Islam, as Umm Sulaim had already become Muslim before Abu Talhah proposed to her.

It was narrated that Anas said: "Abu Talhah married Umm Sulaim and the dowry between them was Islam. Umm Sulaim became Muslim before Abu Talhah, and he proposed to her but she said: 'I have become Muslim; if you become Muslim I will marry you'. So he became Muslim, and that was the dowry between them".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَكَانَ صَدَاقُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا الإِسْلاَمَ أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ قَبْلَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَخَطَبَهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمْتَ نَكَحْتُكَ ‏.‏ فَأَسْلَمَ فَكَانَ صَدَاقَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the marriage between Abu Talhah and Umm Sulaim. Umm Sulaim had already accepted Islam before Abu Talhah proposed to her. When he proposed to her she said that she would only marry him if he accepted Islam too. So in the end they both agreed that their dowry would be accepting Islam and they got married afterwards. This teaches us that faith is an important part of marriage and it should be a priority for couples who are getting married. It also shows us how important it is for people to accept the religion of Allah so they can live a life according to His teachings and guidance.
