أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَزَوَّجَهَا وَهِيَ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ زَوَّجَهَا النَّجَاشِيُّ وَأَمْهَرَهَا أَرْبَعَةَ آلاَفٍ وَجَهَّزَهَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَبَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ شُرَحْبِيلَ ابْنِ حَسَنَةَ وَلَمْ يَبْعَثْ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَىْءٍ وَكَانَ مَهْرُ نِسَائِهِ أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ .
Al-Abbas ibn Muhammad al-Duri reported to us; he said: Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Shaqiq narrated to us; he said: Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Umm Habibah: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married her while she was in Abyssinia. The Negus arranged her marriage, gave her a dower of four thousand, furnished her from his own means, and sent her with Shurahbil ibn Hasanah. The Messenger of Allah had sent her nothing. The dowers of his other wives were four hundred dirhams.
Translation notes
The source states four thousand without naming a currency unit, then explicitly gives four hundred dirhams as the usual dower for his wives; both forms are retained as written.
