422.Advice and warning rendered by Hazrat Umar, the second caliph: "Beware! don't make a heavy dower of women. Had it been a cause of honour in the world and piety near Allah, the Holy Prophet would have been the first about it. I did not know whether the Holy Prophet married any of his wives and got his daughters married for more than 12 auqiahs ³⁸)"
