TREAT WOMEN KINDLY

274

“Treat women kindly. Woman was created from a rib and the most bent part of the rib is the uppermost. If you try to straighten it you will break it, but if you leave it alone it will remain bent. So treat women kindly.

A woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten it you will break it. If you wish to benefit from her you can do so regardless of its bending.

Woman has been created from a rib and you cannot straighten her. If you wish to benefit from her do so regardless of the bend. If you try to straighten her you will break her, and breaking her means divorce.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
