يا أيها الناس ، لا تغالوا مهر النساء
O people, do not go to excess in the dowries of women
Hadith Number: 2760
فحدثناه ابو الوليد الفقيه وابو بكر بن عبد الله بن قريش، قالا: حدثنا الحسن بن سفيان، حدثنا شيبان بن فروخ، حدثنا عيسى بن ميمون، حدثنا سالم ونافع، عن ابن عمر: ان عمر بن الخطاب خطب الناس فقال: يا ايها الناس، لا تغالوا مهر النساء، فإنها لو كانت مكرمة لم يكن منكم احد احق بها ولا اولى من النبي ﷺ، ما امهر احدا من نسائه ولا اصدق احدا من بناته اكثر من اثنتي عشرة اوقية. والاوقية اربعون درهما - إلا شيء اصدق عنه النجاشي؛ اربع مئة دينار بارض الحبشة (2). واما حديث نافع:
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed the people and said: "O people, do not go to excess in the dowries of women, for if this were a matter of honour (in this world), none of you would have been more deserving or more fitting for it than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (The fact is that) he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not set the dowry of any of his wives or daughters at more than twelve uqiyah." And one uqiyah is forty dirhams, except for the dowry that al-Najashi paid on his (peace and blessings be upon him) behalf in the land of Abyssinia (for Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her)), which was four hundred dinars.

Grading: Its isnad is "da'if" because it contains 'Isa bin Maymun (al-Madani, known as al-Wasiti), who is a weak narrator, as al-Dhahabi said in "al-Talkhis"; indeed, some hadith scholars abandoned him.
(2) إسناده ضعيف لضعف عيسى بن ميمون - وهو المدني المعروف بالواسطي - كما قال الذهبي في "تلخيصه"، وقد تركه بعضهم.
Reference / Source: Ibn 'Adi narrated it in "al-Kamil" (5/ 240) through the chain of 'Abdan bin Ahmad al-Ahwazi and Muhammad bin 'Abdah bin Harb, from Shayban bin Farrukh, with this same isnad.
وأخرجه ابن عدي في "الكامل" 5/ 240 عن عبدان بن أحمد الأهوازي ومحمد بن عبدة بن حرب، عن شيبان بن فَرُّوخ، بهذا الإسناد.
Note / Clarification: In place of this narration, the preceding narration of Abu al-'Ajfa' from 'Umar suffices (which carries the same meaning).
ويُغني عنه ما قبله من رواية أبي العجفاء عن عمر.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: The story of the Negus, King of Abyssinia, is supported by the hadith of Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) that will come later at number (2776) with a sahih isnad; she herself is the central figure of this story, whose dowry the Negus paid.
Note / Clarification: However, there four thousand (dirhams) are mentioned, which amount to approximately four hundred dinars.

ويشهد لقصة النجاشي حديث أم حبيبة الآتي برقم (2776) بإسناد صحيح، وهي صاحبة القصة التي أمهرها النجاشي ذلك. غير أنه ذكر هناك أربعة آلاف - والمراد الدرهم - وهي تساوي أربع مئة دينار تقريبًا.
