عن أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن، أنه قال: سألت عائشة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : كم كان صَداقُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟ قالت: «كان صَدَاقُهُ لأزواجه ثِنْتَيْ عشرة أُوقِيَّةً ونَشَّاً»، قالت: «أتدري ما النَّشُّ؟» قال: قلت: لا، قالت: «نصف أُوقِيَّةٍ، فتلك خمسمائة درهم، فهذا صَدَاقُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأزواجه».

“Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān reported: I asked ‘Ā'ishah: "How much was the dowry paid by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)?" She said: "His dowry for his wives was twelve Uqiyyahs and one Nashsh. Do you know what is the Nashsh?" I said: 'No.' She said: "It is a half Uqiyyah, so this equals five hundred dirhams, and it was the dowry that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) paid to his wives."”
