The Mahr of Hadhrat Aadam (Alaihis Salaam)

Shaikh Abdul Haq Dehlawi (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) writes in “Madaarijun Nubuwah” that when Hadhrat Hawa (Radhiyallahu Anha) was created, Hadhrat Aadam (Alaihis Salaam) wanted to stretch forth his hands towards her. The angels then said, “Be patient until such time that the nikah is performed and you give her the mahr. Hadhrat Aadam (Alaihis Salaam) then inquired, “What is the mahr?” The angels replied, “The recitation of Durood upon Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). (According to another report, the mahr was twenty durood upon Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). (Fazaail Durood)
