Arabic text

3348 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: «كَانَ الصَّدَاقُ إِذْ كَانَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَشْرَةَ أَوَاقٍ»

Commentary

'Ten Uqiyah': Twelve and a half Uqiyah has reported above. The fractions might probably have been dropped, or the dower in general might be that much! The dower for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ might have been five hundred dirhams (silver coins) in view of his specific status. Ten Uqiyah equal four hundred dirhams. This is not the prescribed measure or amount of the dower. It rather might have been an appropriate measure of dower according to the customary practice. Its measure would rise and fall based upon circumstances.
