“
It is from the blessing in a woman that she has an easy dowry, an easy proposal and an easy womb”
One of the reporters of this narration, ‘Urwah, said “
And I say from myself, one of the first signs of evil from a woman is for her to have a high dowry.”
This hadÎth is recorded by Imâm Ahmad and others and is graded hasan by Shaykh Al-Albaanee.
The Prophet (salallaahu `alaihi wassallam) said:
“From the virtues of a woman is the one who is easy in terms of proposing to, easy in terms of dowry, and easy in terms of her womb ”
[Reported by Ahmad, no. 24478. Al-Bazzaar (1417), Ibn Hibbaan (4095), Tabaraanee, al-Haakim and others. Chain of narration is Hasan]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “
The best of marriage is that which is made easiest.” Narrated by Ibn Hibbaan, classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3300
Ibn Maajah (1887) narrated that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab said:
“Do not go to extremes with regard to the dowries of women, for if that were a sign of honour and dignity in this world or a sign of piety before Allaah, then Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have done that before you. But he did not give any of his wives, and none of his daughters were given, more than twelve uqiyah. A man may increase the dowry until he feels resentment against her and says, ‘You cost me everything I own, and caused me a great deal of hardship’.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh Ibn Maajah, 1532.
