Hadith 9:1239
Ibn ‘Ulayyah narrated to us, from Yunus, from Mu’awiyah ibn Qurrah, from his father, who said: ‘Umar said: "A man—or he said: a servant—has not benefited, after faith in Allah, from anything better than a woman of good character, affectionate, and fertile. And a man has not suffered a loss, after disbelief in Allah, from anything worse than a woman of bad character and sharp-tongued." Then he said: "Indeed, among them are spoils that cannot be attained, and among them are burdens that one must pay a ransom to be freed from."
حدثنا بن علية عن يونس عن معاوية بن قرة عن أبيه قال قال عمر ما استفاد رجل أو قال عبد بعد أيمان بالله خيرا من امرأة حسنة الخلق ودود ولود وما استفاد رجل بعد الكفر بالله من امرأة سيئة الخلق حديدة اللسان ثم قال إن منهن غنما لا يحذى منه وإن منهن غلالا يفدى منه
