Lady Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her, she was in the land of Abyssinia. The Negus performed her marriage to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and gave her four thousand (dirhams) as dowry and trousseau from his own side, and sent her with Shurahbil bin Hasanah (to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not send anything to her, and the dowry of his (other) wives was four hundred dirhams.
