Do not exaggerate when it comes to dowries; Follow the example set by Prophet Muhammad; Be mindful before Allah; Be humble and moderate when dealing with matters related to marriage .

This hadith is narrated by Abu Al-Ajfa As-Salami, who reported that Umar bin Al-Khattab said that one should not exaggerate in the dowries of women. He further explained that if doing so was honorable in the world or Taqwa before Allah then Prophet Muhammad would have been the first to do it. It is also mentioned that he did not know of Prophet Muhammad marrying any of his wives, nor giving any of his daughters in marriage for more than twelve Uqiyah. This hadith teaches us to be moderate and humble when it comes to dowries and other matters related to marriage. We should remember that Prophet Muhammad was a role model for us and we should follow his example as much as possible. We should also remember that Allah loves those who are humble and moderate, so we must strive to be like this too.
