حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: خَطَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ:
" أَلَا لَا تُغْلُوا صُدُقَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللهِ كَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ بِهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ، مَا زَوَّجَ أَحَدًا مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ وَلَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدًا مِنْ نِسَائِهِ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً، إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيُغْلِي صَدُقَةَ الْمَرْأَةِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِدَاؤُهُ لَهَا، فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ كَلِفْتُ لَكِ عَلَقَ الْقِرْبَةِ "، أَوْ قَالَ: " عَرَقَ الْقِرْبَةِ

✧ "Beware! Do not be excessive in the dowries of women, for if it were a source of honor in this world and piety before Allah, the most deserving of it among you would be Muhammad ﷺ. He did not marry off any of his daughters, nor did he marry any of his wives, for more than twelve uqiyyah. One of you would be excessive in a woman's dowry until it becomes a ransom for her, and then he says: 'I have burdened myself for you with the hanging of the water-skin,'" or he said: "the sweat of the water-skin."
