Sunan an-Nasa'i 3524

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan informed us; he said: Zayd ibn al-Hubab narrated to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Mansur, from Ibrahim, from Alqamah, from Ibn Mas'ud, who was asked about a man who married a woman, stipulated no dowry for her, and did not consummate the marriage before he died. Ibn Mas'ud said, ‘She is entitled to a dowry equal to that of women like her, with neither reduction nor excess; she must observe the waiting period, and she inherits.’ Ma'qil ibn Sinan al-Ashja'i stood up and said, ‘The Messenger of Allah gave the same ruling among us concerning Birwa' bint Washiq, a woman from our people.’ Ibn Mas'ud was pleased.
