أَخْبَرَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَجَّاجًا، يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ نُكِحَتْ عَلَى صَدَاقٍ أَوْ حِبَاءٍ أَوْ عِدَةٍ قَبْلَ عِصْمَةِ النِّكَاحِ فَهُوَ لَهَا وَمَا كَانَ بَعْدَ عِصْمَةِ النِّكَاحِ فَهُوَ لِمَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ وَأَحَقُّ مَا أُكْرِمَ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ ابْنَتُهُ أَوْ أُخْتُهُ " . اللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ .
Hilal ibn al-Ala' reported to us; he said: Hajjaj narrated to us; Ibn Jurayj said: Amr ibn Shu'ayb narrated to me. And Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Tamim informed me; he said: I heard Hajjaj say: Ibn Jurayj said, from Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from Abd Allah ibn Amr, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Any woman whose marriage is agreed upon for a bridal dower, a gift, or a promise of a gift before the marriage contract—the agreed amount or gift belongs to her. Whatever is given after the marriage contract belongs to the person to whom it was given. The person a man is most bound to honor is his daughter or sister.’ The wording is Abd Allah’s.
Translation notes
The report distinguishes what is agreed or promised before the marriage contract, which belongs to the woman, from what is given after the contract, which belongs to its recipient. The final statement names a man’s daughter or sister as especially deserving of honor.
