Sunan an-Nasa'i 3341

Muhammad ibn al-Nadr ibn Musawir reported to us; he said: Ja'far ibn Sulayman informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: Abu Talhah proposed to Umm Sulaym. She said, ‘By Allah, Abu Talhah, a man like you is not to be turned away, but you are an unbeliever and I am a Muslim woman, and it is not lawful for me to marry you. If you embrace Islam, that will be my bridal dower; I ask nothing else.’ He embraced Islam, and that was her bridal dower. Thabit said: ‘I have never heard of a woman whose bridal dower was more noble than Umm Sulaym’s: Islam.’ He consummated the marriage with her, and she bore him a child.
