سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً وَ جَعَلَ صَدَاقَهَا أَبَاهَا عَلَى أَنْ تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا مَا يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّمَا لَهَا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ أَبُوهَا شَيْخٌ قِيمَتُهُ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْ لَا أَنْتُمْ لَمْ أَبِعْهُ بِثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ لَا يُنْظَرُ فِي قَوْلِهِ وَ لَا تَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from someone else, from Aban Bin usman, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who married a woman and made her dower to be her father upon that a thousand Dirhams would be returned to him. Then he divorces her before he sleeps with her. What is befitting for her that she should return to him? And rather, for her is half the dower, and her father is an old man. His value is five hundred Dirhams, and he is saying, ‘Were it not for you, I would not sell him with three thousand Dirhams’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There would be no consideration for his words, and nothing would be returned to him’.
