English Translation
Muhammad ibn Sirin narrated that al-Ash'ath ibn Qays traveled with a man and admired his wife. The man died on the journey. Al-Ash'ath proposed to her, but she refused to marry him except on her own terms. He married her on her terms, then divorced her before she set her terms. He said: Set your terms. She demanded certain slaves that belonged to his father from his original property. He refused and went to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Umar said: She is a Muslim woman - meaning she is entitled to the mahr of a Muslim woman like her.
