Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir (a Companion) narrated

‘ that the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to a man: “Would you agree to marry so and so?” The man said: “Yes.” He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said the same to the woman (whom he mentioned to the man): “Would you agree to marry so and so [referring to the man whom he asked]?” She said: “Yes.” So he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, then married them to one another. How He Treated Them? Anas continued: “The man consummated the marriage with her, but he did not fix any dower for her, nor did he give her anything. He was one of those who participated in the expedition to Al-Hudaybiyyah, and the one who took part in the expedition of Al-Hudaybiyyah was entitled for a share in Khaybar. When he was nearing his death, he said: ‘ The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, married me to so and so, and I did not fix a dower for her, nor did I give anything to her. I call upon you as witness that I have given my share in Khaybar as her dower. So she took the share and sold it for one lakh (an amount of silver coins known as Dirham). Thereupon, he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “The best marriages are those that are facilitated and made easy.””1

Al-Manaawi (a scholar) said: “Meaning, the marriage that is least expen- sive, facilitateand approval is made easy for the man. This is because marriage should be a source ofcompassion and comfort for the man and the woman, and thus should be made easy and facilitated in order for blessings to prevail. A sign of facilitating marriage is not to ask for a large dowry, and facilitating all matters related to the marriage ceremony and feast.”2
