4- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ نِسَاءِ أُمَّتِي أَصْبَحُهُنَّ وَجْهاً وَأَقَلُّهُنَّ مَهْراً.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said, ‘The best of the women of my followers are those who have a beautiful face and the least amount of Mahr (dowry).’”
