Hazrat Abdullah bin Qais narrates that Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) had a slave who was also the caretaker of his camels. He married a slave woman from Banu Jadha and gave her five camels as dowry.

They replied, "The slave is yours, but the property has now become the woman's dowry."

The narrator says that in my opinion, this slave had married without the permission of Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him).
