A Wife Should Be Easy Going With Her Dowry

[TheAuthenticBase]

Also, such a wife should be easy going in regards to her dowry because an easy going dowry has the most blessings. In a hadeeth related by 'Aa'ishah, the Prophet (saw) said:

"The woman with the greatest blessings are those who are the most easy going in dowry." [Al-Haakim, and it is saheeh upon the conditions of Bukhaaree and Muslim]
​

The honorable Taabi'ee, Saeed Ibn Al-Musayyib, married his daughter (to Aboo Hurayrah) for two dirhams. And the companions used to marry with the smalest and easiest amount of dowry without exaggerating in the matter. They used to seek in a husband righteousness, deen, piety and wara' (abandoning that which may harm one in the hereafter ou tof fear of Allaah).
