“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once a man came to the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have Mahirah al-‘Arab (the girl with highest amount of dower among Arabs); will you accept her and she is my daughter?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘I accept her.’ The man said, ‘Another (characteristic) O Messenger of Allah.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) asked, ‘What is that?’ He said, ‘She has never suffered any hardships at all.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘I do not need her but give her in marriage to Jilbib.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Both legs of the man almost failed because of the shock, then her mother came and when she was informed she also felt the same condition as her father. When the girl heard the words and saw the condition her parents were in, she said to them, ‘Please be happy for me with what Allah and His Messenger have chosen for me.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘What the girl said comforted her parents. Her father came to the Holy Prophet, and informed him of her words. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘I have made paradise for her mahr (dower).’ Safwan has added, ‘Her husband (Jilbib) died and her mahr reached one hundred thousand dirham.’”
