سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَهَبُ نَفْسَهَا لِلرَّجُلِ يَنْكِحُهَا بِغَيْرِ مَهْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا لِلنَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَمَّا لِغَيْرِهِ فَلَا يَصْلُحُ هَذَا حَتَّى يُعَوِّضَهَا شَيْئاً يُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَلَّ أَوْ كَثُرَ وَ لَوْ ثَوْبٌ أَوْ دِرْهَمٌ وَ قَالَ يُجْزِئُ الدِّرْهَمُ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan and Muhammad Bin Sinan, altogether from Ibn Muskan, from Al Halby who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the woman who gifts herself to the man who marries her without a dower. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But rather, this was for the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, and as for the others, so this is not correct until he places something for her and sends it to her before he copulates with her, be it little or more, and even if it is a garment, or one Dirham’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The Dirham suffices’.
