The answer

Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: "Do not exaggerate in the dowries of women. If an increase in dowry were a merit or a sign of piety, the Prophet would have been the most deserving of people to do so. And I do not know that the Prophet married any of his wives or gave any of his daughters in marriage for more than twelve uqiyah." This addition was authenticated by Tirmidhi and Albani. As for the story of the woman objecting to Umar ibn al-Khattab, it has no authentic chains of narration.
