2105. Abū Salamah narrated: “I asked ‘Aishah regarding the dowry that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to give (to his wives). She replied: 'It was twelve Uwqiyyahs and a Nash.' I asked: 'And what is a Nash?' She replied: 'Half an Uqiyah.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
2105 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، عَنْ صَدَاقِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: «ثِنْتَا عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَنَشٌّ»، فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا نَشٌّ؟ قَالَتْ: «نِصْفُ أُوقِيَّةٍ»

One Uqiyah is forty Dirhams of silver. Hence, the amount of twelve and a half Uqiyah comes to five hundred Dirhams. According to more modern rates, one Dirham is 2.975 grams of silver, and, according to some earlier scholars, 3.06 grams.
