3342. It was narrated that Anas said: "Abû Talhah married Umm Sulaim and the dowry between them was Islam. Umm Sulaim became Muslim before Abû Talhah, and he proposed to her but she said: 'I have become Muslim; if you become Muslim I will marry you.' So he became Muslim, and that was the dowry between them." (Sahih)
3340 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: " تَزَوَّجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، فَكَانَ صِدَاقُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْإِسْلَامَ، أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ قَبْلَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، فَخَطَبَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ، فَإِنْ أَسْلَمْتَ نَكَحْتُكَ، فَأَسْلَمَ فَكَانَ صِدَاقَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا "

It transpires from this Hadîth that there was no other dower, except for Abû Talhah's Islam. The upcoming narrations further elucidate it. Therefore, any gain or benefit could become a dower; it could either be religious or worldly, as there is mention of the teaching of the Glorious Qur'an in the previous narration.
