وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ الْمُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ:

رَكِبَ عُمَرُ ؓ الْمِنْبَرَ مِنْبَرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَعْرِفَنَّ مَا زَادَ الصَّدَاقُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ. فَاعْتَرَضَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، نَهَيْتَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَزِيدُوا فِي صَدَقَاتِهِنَّ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَتْ: أَمَا سَمِعْتَ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ: وَآتَيْتُمْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ قِنْطَارًا... الْآيَةَ ؟ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ غَفْرًا، كُلُّ النَّاسِ أَفْقَهُ مِنْ عُمَرَ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، فَرَكِبَ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ أَنْ تَزِيدُوا فِي صَدَقَاتِهِنَّ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ مِنْ مَالِهِ مَا أَحَبَّ، أَوْ فَمَنْ طَابَتْ نَفْسُهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

✧ Umar ؓ mounted the pulpit, the pulpit of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and said: "I shall not acknowledge any increase in dowry above four hundred dirhams." Then he descended. A woman of Quraysh confronted him and said, "O Commander of the Believers, have you forbidden people to increase their women's dowries above four hundred dirhams?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Have you not heard God Almighty say in the Qur'an: 'And you have given one of them a qintar'... the verse?" He said, "O God, forgiveness! All the people are more knowledgeable than Umar." Then he returned, mounted, and said, "O people, I had forbidden you to increase their dowries above four hundred dirhams. Whoever wishes to give from his wealth whatever he likes, or whoever is pleased in himself, let him do so."
