حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِسَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ
لَا تُغْلُوا صُدُقَ النِّسَاءِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا، أَوْ تَقْوَى فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَكَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا أَنْكَحَ شَيْئًا مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ وَلَا نِسَائِهِ فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَأُخْرَى تَقُولُونَهَا فِي مَغَازِيكُمْ: قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا، مَاتَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا، وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَوْقَرَ عَجُزَ دَابَّتِهِ، أَوْ دَفَّ رَاحِلَتِهِ ذَهَبًا وَفِضَّةً يَبْتَغِي التِّجَارَةَ، فَلَا تَقُولُوا: ذَاكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ: مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ.

- Ibn Sīrīn Samiʿah Min Abū al-ʿAjfāʾisamiʿt ʿUmar
✧ Do not inflate the dowers of women. If it were a mark of honour in this world or piety in the Hereafter, the Prophet ﷺ would have been foremost among you in it. He never married off any of his daughters or wives for more than twelve uqiyyahs. And another thing you say in your expeditions: 'So-and-so was killed as a martyr; so-and-so died as a martyr.' Yet perhaps he had loaded the rear of his mount or the side of his camel with gold and silver seeking trade. So do not say that. Rather say as Muhammad ﷺ said: 'Whoever is killed in the path of Allah is in Paradise.'
