Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten her, she will break. So if you
want to get benefit from her, do so while she still has some crookedness.”
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 114:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neigh –
bor. And I advise you to take care of the women, for they are created from a rib and the most
crooked portion of the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it,
it will remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the women.”

‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf came to Allah’s Apostle and he had marks of Sufra (yellow perfume). Al –

with one sheep.”

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 84:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet offered a wedding banquet on the occasion of his marriage to Zainab, and provided a
good meal for the Muslims. Then he went out as was his custom on marrying, he came to the dwell –
ing places of the mothers of the Believers (i.e. his wives) invoking good (on them), and they were in –
voking good (on him). Then he departed (and came back) and saw two men (still sitting there). So he
left again. I do not remember whether I informed him or he was informed (by somebody else) of
their departure).”
