سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَوَّجَ ابْنَتَهُ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ وَ أَمْهَرَهَا بَيْتاً وَ خَادِماً ثُمَّ مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ يُؤْخَذُ الْمَهْرُ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمَالِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالْبَيْتُ وَ الْخَادِمُ قَالَ وَسَطٌ مِنَ الْبُيُوتِ وَ الْخَادِمُ وَسَطٌ مِنَ الْخَدَمِ قُلْتُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَرْبَعِينَ دِينَاراً وَ الْبَيْتُ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هَذَا سَبْعِينَ ثَمَانِينَ دِينَاراً أَوْ مِائَةً نَحْوٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I asked Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) about a man who got his daughter married to a son of his brother, and made a house and a servant to be her dower. Then the man died. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The dower would be taken from the average of the wealth’. I said, ‘So the house and the servant?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘An average from the houses, and the servant is an average from the servants’. I said, ‘Thirty or fourty Dinars, and the house is approximately that’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is seventy, eighty Dinars, or a hundred, approximately that’.
