Sunan Abi Dawud 2106 (Book 12, Hadith 61) #22397
Moderation in Dower

SUMMARY: This hadith is about not going to extremes in giving women their dower, as the Prophet ﷺ did not marry any of his wives or gave any of his daughters in marriage for more than twelve Uqiyahs.

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 . The Messenger of Allah did not marry any of his wives or gave any of his daughters in marriage for more than twelve Uqiyahs.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عُمَرُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أَلاَ لاَ تُغَالُوا بِصُدُقِ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَكَانَ أَوْلاَكُمْ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ مَا أَصْدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَلاَ أُصْدِقَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about moderation when it comes to giving a woman her dower, which is a payment given by the groom to the bride at the time of marriage. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not give more than twelve Uqiyahs as dowers for any of his wives or daughters when they got married. This teaches us that we should be moderate and not go to extremes when it comes to giving women their dowers, and that we should follow the example set by our beloved Prophet ﷺ. We should also remember that this payment is an honourable thing both in this world and in Allah's sight, so we should treat it with respect.
