Hadith 9:1306

Hafs narrated to us, from Ash'ath, from Ibn Sirin, that al-Ash'ath married a woman on the condition of her judgment [regarding the dowry]. So 'Umar asked him about it, and he said, "I spent a night, the knowledge of which is with none but Allah, fearing that she would judge against me regarding the wealth of Qays." He ['Umar] said, "That is not for her; she only has the dowry of women like her."

حدثنا حفص عن أشعث عن بن سيرين أن الأشعث تزوج أمرأة على حكمها فسأله عمر عنها فقال بت ليلة لا يعلمها إلا الله مخافة أن تحكم علي في مال قيس فقال ليس ذلك لها إنما لها مهر نسائها
