Hadith 1028

Narrated Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman (RA): I asked 'Aishah (RA), "How much had Allah's Messenger (SAW) 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 Allah's Messenger's (SAW) dowry to his wives." [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ ; أَنَّهُ قَالَ : { سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-كَمْ كَانَ صَدَاقُ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-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 ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-لِأَزْوَاجِهِ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
