وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ ;
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (كَمْ كَانَ صَدَاقُ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ) صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ صَدَاقُهُ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَنَشًّا.
قَالَتْ: أَتَدْرِي مَا اَلنَّشُّ ? قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا. قَالَتْ: نِصْفُ أُوقِيَّةٍ. فَتِلْكَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَهَذَا صَدَاقُ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ»
I asked Aishah (radiyallahu anha), “How much had the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) given as dowry?” She replied, “His dowry to his wives was twelve Uqiya and Nashsh.” She asked, “Do you know what a an-Nashsh is?” I replied, “No.” She said, “It is half an Uqiya. Hence, the total was five hundred Dirhams, and that was the Messenger of Allah’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) dowry to his wives.”.
