fasting diminishes his lust.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7,
Book 62, Number 4)
The Messenger of Allah (saas) explains what believing men
should look for when choosing a wife:
“Do not marry women for the sake of their beauty, for
their beauty may lead them to ruin. Do not marry them
for the sake of their riches, for their riches may cause
them transgress. Rather, marry them for their (devotion
to) religion.” (Sunan Ibn Majah, 1859)
“A woman is married for four things, namely, her wealth,
family status, beauty, and religion. So you should marry
the religious woman, (otherwise) you will be a loser.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 27)
“Verily the world is a property, and nothing of the proper-
ty of the world is better than a righteous woman.” (Sunan
Ibn Majah, 1855)
“Among Muslims, his faith is more perfect whose behavior
toward (everyone) is good, and (particularly) toward his
wife is [a manifestation] of love and kindness.” (al-
Tirmidhi)
“No believing man hates his believing wife. If there is a
bad quality in her, there will also be a good quality.”
(Sahih Muslim)
“The man who can bear his wife’s bad tempers will be
rewarded by Allah in the same way as Ayyub (as), who
endured sickness, was rewarded. The wife who can bear her
husband’s bad tempers will be rewarded by Allah in the
same as Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, was rewarded.” (Ihya)
“Among Muslims, those are more perfect in faith who are
perfect in morals, and the best of you are those who are
best to their wives.” (al-Tirmidhi)
