From the Hadith of Asma bint Yazid (RA)

من حديث أسماء بنت يزيد

Hadith 1304:2

Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Husayn, who heard Shahr say: I heard Asma bint Yazid—one of the women of Banu Abd al-Ashhal—say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by us while we were among a group of women, so he greeted us and said: "Beware of the ingratitude toward those who bestow favors." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the ingratitude toward those who bestow favors?" He said: "Perhaps one of you remains unmarried for a long time with her parents, and grows old, then Allah (Mighty and Majestic is He) provides her with a husband, and provides her through him with wealth and children. Then she becomes angry in a fit of anger and says: 'I have never seen a single day of good from him.'" And he said once: "Never any good at all."

حدثنا سفيان، عن ابن أبي حسين، سمع شهرا يقول: سمعت أسماء بنت يزيد - إحدى نساء بني عبد الأشهل - تقول: مر بنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن في نسوة فسلم علينا وقال: " إياكن وكفر المنعمين " فقلنا: يا رسول الله، وما كفر المنعمين؟ قال: " لعل إحداكن أن تطول أيمتها بين أبويها، وتعنس فيرزقها الله عز وجل زوجا ، ويرزقها منه مالا، وولدا فتغضب الغضبة فتقول : ما رأيت منه يوما خيرا قط وقال: مرة خيرا قط "
