حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنِى يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ الْهَادِ ح وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ الْمَكِّىُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كَمْ كَانَ صَدَاقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَتْ كَانَ صَدَاقُهُ لأَزْوَاجِهِ ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَنَشًّا. قَالَتْ أَتَدْرِى مَا النَّشُّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاَ. قَالَتْ نِصْفُ أُوقِيَّةٍ. فَتِلْكَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَهَذَا صَدَاقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لأَزْوَاجِهِ.

It was narrated that Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman said: "I asked 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w): 'How much was the dowry of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)?' She said: 'The dowry that he gave to his wives was twelve Uqiyah and a Nashsh.' She said: 'Do you know what a Nashsh is?' I said: 'No.' She said: 'Half an Uqiyah; and that (the whole amount) was equal to five hundred Dirham. That was the dowry of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to his wives.'"
