حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ تَزَوَّجَتْ عَلَى نَعْلَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَرَضِيتِ مِنْ نَفْسِكِ وَمَالِكِ بِنَعْلَيْنِ " . قَالَتْ نَعَمْ . قَالَ فَأَجَازَهُ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَجَابِرٍ وَأَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الأَسْلَمِيِّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْمَهْرِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ الْمَهْرُ عَلَى مَا تَرَاضَوْا عَلَيْهِ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَقَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ لاَ يَكُونُ الْمَهْرُ أَقَلَّ مِنْ رُبْعِ دِينَارٍ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ لاَ يَكُونُ الْمَهْرُ أَقَلَّ مِنْ عَشْرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ .

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Yahya ibn Sa'id, Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, and Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us; they said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Asim ibn Ubayd Allah, who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabi'ah, from his father: A woman from Banu Fazara married for two sandals. The Messenger of Allah said to her: Are you content to give yourself and your property for two sandals? She said: Yes. He approved it. It is also reported in this chapter from Umar, Abu Hurairah, Sahl ibn Sa'd, Abu Sa'id, Anas, Aishah, Jabir, and Abu Hadard al-Aslami. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Amir ibn Rabi'ah is hasan sahih. Scholars differed about the dowry. Some said that the dowry is whatever the two parties mutually agree upon. This was the view of Sufyan al-Thawri, al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Malik ibn Anas said that the dowry may not be less than a quarter dinar. Some scholars of Kufa said that it may not be less than ten dirhams.

مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ تَزَوَّجَتْ عَلَى نَعْلَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَرَضِيتِ مِنْ نَفْسِكِ وَمَالِكِ بِنَعْلَيْنِ " .
The wording connects the marriage to two sandals, without spelling out whether these were the full dowry or an illustrative consideration.
Should the phrase be rendered simply as the dowry of two sandals, or retain the source's broader wording?
