قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ عَلَى الصَّدَاقِ الْمَعْلُومِ يَدْخُلُ بِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا قَالَ يُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْهَا مَا قَلَّ أَوْ كَثُرَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَفَاءٌ مِنْ عَرَضٍ إِنْ حَدَثَ بِهِ حَدَثٌ أُدِّيَ عَنْهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man marries the woman upon the known dower. He copulates with her before he gives it to her’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should forward to her whatever little or more unless if there happens to be for him a fulfilment from an asset if there occurs with him an even (death) so it can be paid from it, so there is no problem’.
