Hadith.4358 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Dawud al-Karkhi, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (as), "My wife has passed away. She was compatible with me, and I am thinking about getting married." Imam (as) said: "Consider carefully where you place yourself, with whom you share your wealth, and to whom you reveal your religion, secrets, and trust. If you must proceed, then marry a virgin who is known for goodness and good character. Know that women are created differently: among them are those who are a blessing and those who are a burden; among them are like the crescent moon that delights its owner when it appears; and among them are like darkness. Whoever finds a righteous woman is happy, and whoever is deceived by one has no recourse for revenge. Women are of three types: A woman who is fertile, loving, and supports her husband in his worldly and religious affairs, not helping life's hardships against him. A woman who is barren, neither beautiful nor of good character, and does not help her husband in anything good. And a woman who is loud, argumentative, fault-finding, belittles much, and is not content with little."
