Hadith 9:1531

Abu Mu’awiyah narrated to us, from Musa bin Ubayd [al-Rabadhi], from Abdullah bin Khirash, who said: I saw Abu Dharr in al-Rabadha, and with him was a wife of his, dark-skinned or swarthy. He was in a black tent of his. It was said to him, "O Abu Dharr, if only you had taken a wife of higher status than this one." He said, "By Allah, that I should take a wife who humbles me is more beloved to me than that I should take a wife who elevates me."

حدثنا أبو معاوية عن موسى بن عبيد [ الربذي ] عن عبد الله بن خراش قال رأيت أبا ذر بالربذة وعنده امرأة له سحماء أو سحناء قال وهو في مظلة له سوداء قال فقيل له يا أبا ذر لو اتخذت امرأة أرفع من هذه فقال والله لأن اتخذ امرأة تضعني أحب إلي من أن اتخذ امرأة ترفعني
