2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqiy from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Jawhariy from abu Sa‘id from al-Ahwal who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the minimum amount of mahr (dower) in al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage). He (the Imam) said, ‘It can be a handful of wheat.’”
