Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ رُومَانَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْطَى امْرَأَةً صَدَاقًا مِلْءَ يَدَيْهِ طَعَامًا كَانَتْ لَهُ حَلَالًا.
English Translation
Yunus told us, Salih ibn Muslim ibn Ruman told us, Abu al-Zubayr Muhammad ibn Muslim informed me, from Jabir ibn Abdullah: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If a man were to give a woman a bridal dowry consisting of a handful of food, it would be lawful for him."
