AbuDawud said: This tradition has been narrated by AbdurRahman ibn Mahdi, from Salih ibn Ruman, from AbuzZubayr on the authority of Jabir as his own statement (not going back to the Prophet). It has also been transmitted by AbuAsim from Salih ibn Ruman , from AbuzZubayr on the authority of Jabir who said: During the lifetime of the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) we used to contract temporary marriage for a handful of grain. }} | AbuDawud said: This tradition has been narrated by AbdurRahman ibn Mahdi, from Salih ibn Ruman, from AbuzZubayr on the authority of Jabir as his own statement (not going back to the Prophet).

The ahadith above present another problem for the mahr apologists. If it were true, that the mahr is an advance demonstration of a man's ability to financially support his wife, why then did [[Muhammad]] not mention this in any of the aforementioned narrations? Furthermore, in the narrations dealing with the Qur'an recitations, we see both Muhammad and the man in question knew that he had nothing material to give as a mahr. This clearly shows he was not financially stable and that the mahr in this case could not possibly have been a token of financial stability. This is why he had to resort to 'giving' his new bride his Qur'an memorizations. These narrations are a recount of a conversation Muhammad himself allegedly had. This means that Muhammad himself has confirmed that the apologist is wrong, and that the Mahr is simply given as payment for lawful sexual relations | The ahadith above present another problem for the mahr apologists.
