Narrated by Sayyiduna Suhaib bin Sinan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever sets a dowry for a woman and Allah Almighty knows that he does not intend to pay it, thus he deceives the woman in the name of Allah and makes her private parts lawful for himself in an unlawful way, this man, on the day he meets Allah Almighty, will be counted among the thieves.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Any woman who marries for a dowry, a gift, or a promise, then whatever is given before the marriage contract will belong to the woman herself, and whatever is given after the marriage will belong to the one for whom it is given. It is daughters and sisters because of whom a person becomes most deserving of honor.

Narrated by Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The dowry or promise by which a woman's private parts are made lawful is for that woman alone, and whatever is given as an honor to her father, brother, or guardian after the marriage contract, that will belong to them. It is the daughter and the sister because of whom a man is considered most deserving of honor.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) gave these items as dowry to Sayyida Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her): a sheet, a water skin, and a leather pillow filled with the leaves of idhkhir grass.
