Is the gravel and dust in the mosque a dowry for the Houris?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no specific mention of the dowry (mahr) of the Houris (maidens of Paradise) in any authentic hadith. All narrations regarding this matter are either very weak or fabricated. The true dowry of the Houris is every righteous deed that brings one closer to Allah Almighty and becomes a reason for entering Paradise.
