قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع[4] تَزَوَّجْ سَمْرَاءَ عَيْنَاءَ عَجْزَاءَ مَرْبُوعَةً- فَإِنْ كَرِهْتَهَا فَعَلَيَّ الصَّدَاقُ[1].
Hadith.4362 - Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "Marry a woman who is dark-skinned, wide-eyed, full-figured, and of medium height. If you dislike her, then I will bear the dowry."
وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَ قَالَ شَمِّي لِيتَهَا[2] فَإِنْ طَابَ لِيتُهَا طَابَ عَرْفُهَا وَ إِنْ دَرِمَ كَعْبُهَا عَظُمَ كَعْثَبُهَا[3].
Hadith.4363 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family), when intending to marry a woman, would send someone to look at her and said: "Smell her neck, for if her neck smells good, her scent will also be pleasant. And if her ankles are fleshy, her private parts will be well-developed."
قَالَ ع[4] إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ فَلْيَسْأَلْ عَنْ شَعْرِهَا كَمَا يَسْأَلُ عَنْ وَجْهِهَا فَإِنَّ الشَّعْرَ أَحَدُ الْجَمَالَيْنِ.
Hadith.4364 - Imam (as) said: "If any of you intends to marry, let him inquire about her hair just as he inquires about her face, for hair is one of the two aspects of beauty."
قَالَ ع[5] خَيْرُ نِسَائِكُمُ الطَّيِّبَةُ الرِّيحِ الطَّيِّبَةُ الطَّعَامِ[6]- الَّتِي إِنْ أَنْفَقَتْ أَنْفَقَتْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَ إِنْ أَمْسَكَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ فَتِلْكَ مِنْ عُمَّالِ اللَّهِ وَ عَامِلُ اللَّهِ لَا يَخِيبُ.
Hadith.4365 - Imam (as) said: "The best of your women is the one who has a pleasant fragrance and prepares good food, who spends appropriately if she spends, and who withholds appropriately if she withholds. Such a woman is among the workers of Allah (swt), and the worker of Allah (swt) will never fail."
خَيْرُ نِسَائِكُمُ الَّتِي إِنْ غَضِبَتْ أَوْ أَغْضَبَتْ قَالَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا يَدِي فِي يَدِكَ لَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِغُمْضٍ حَتَّى تَرْضَى عَنِّي[1].
"The best of your women is the one who, if she becomes angry or causes her husband to become angry, says to him, 'My hand is in your hand, and I will not rest until you are pleased with me.'"
كُنَّا جُلُوساً مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا النِّسَاءَ وَ فَضْلَ بَعْضِهِنَّ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ نِسَائِكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنَا قَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ نِسَائِكُمُ الْوَلُودَ الْوَدُودَ السَّتِيرَةَ الْعَفِيفَةَ الْعَزِيزَةَ فِي أَهْلِهَا الذَّلِيلَةَ مَعَ بَعْلِهَا الْمُتَبَرِّجَةَ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا الْحَصَانَ مَعَ غَيْرِهِ الّ
We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) when we began discussing women and the virtues of some over others. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Shall I not inform you of the best of your women?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (swt),
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص[3] مَا اسْتَفَادَ امْرُؤٌ مُسْلِمٌ فَائِدَةً بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تَسُرُّهُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَ تُطِيعُهُ إِذَا أَمَرَهَا وَ تَحْفَظُهُ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ مَالِهِ.
Hadith.4368 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "A Muslim man does not gain a better benefit after Islam than a Muslim wife who pleases him when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands her, and safeguards herself and his wealth in his absence."
وَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي زَوْجَةً إِذَا دَخَلْتُ تَلَقَّتْنِي وَ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ شَيَّعَتْنِي وَ إِذَا رَأَتْنِي مَهْمُوماً قَالَتْ مَا يُهِمُّكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَهْتَمُّ لِرِزْقِكَ فَقَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لَكَ بِهِ غَيْرُكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَهْتَمُّ بِأَمْرِ آخِرَتِكَ فَزَادَكَ اللَّهُ هَمّاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عُمَّالًا وَ هَذِهِ مِنْ عُمَّالِهِ لَهَا نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الشَّهِي
Hadith.4369 - A man came to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) and said: "I have a wife who, when I enter the house, welcomes me, and when I leave, bids me farewell.
