Hadith 8.1

Marriage

ENGLISH

Abu Salama said he asked ‘A’isha how much the Prophet (ﷺ) had given as dower, and she replied that his dower to his wives was twelve <i>uqiyas</i>* and a <i>nashsh</i>. She asked whether he knew what a <i>nashsh</i> was, and when he replied that he did not, she said it was half an <i>uqiya</i>; so the total was five hundred dirhams. * The <i>uqiya</i> was 40 dirhams. Muslim transmitted it. <i>Nashsh</i> is in the nominative in <i>Sharh as-sunna</i> and all the sources.

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ: كَمْ كَانَ صَدَاقُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَت: كَانَ صداقه لأزواجه اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَنَشٌّ قَالَتْ: أَتَدْرِي مَا النَّشٌّ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا قَالَتْ: نِصْفُ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَتِلْكَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ. وَنَشٌّ بِالرَّفْعِ فِي شَرْحِ السّنة وَفِي جَمِيع الْأُصُول
