"عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَة عَنْ أَبيه: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: لَمْ يُعْطَ عَبْدٌ بَعْدَ إِيَمانٍ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا خَيْرًا مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ حَسَنَةِ الْخُلُقِ وَدُودٍ وَلُودٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : إِنَّ مِنْهُنَّ لَغُنْمًا لاَ يُجْدَى مِنْهُ، وَإِنَّ مِنْهُنَّ لَغُلاّ (*) لاَ يُفْدَى مِنْهُ".

[Machine] What a servant gains after believing in Allah is no better than a woman with good character, friendly, and kind. And what a servant gains after disbelief in Allah is no worse than a seductive woman with a sharp tongue and bad character. By Allah, among them (women) are those who are like sheep, from whom one can benefit, and among them are those who are like crops that can be redeemed.

البيهقي:١٣٤٧٩ – وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ بِلَالٍ الْبَزَّازُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَطَبَ عُمَرُ ؓ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ

مَا اسْتَفَادَ عَبْدٌ بَعْدَ إِيمَانٍ بِاللهِ خَيْرًا مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ حَسَنَةِ الْخُلُقِ وَدُودٍ وَلُودٍ وَمَا اسْتَفَادَ عَبْدٌ بَعْدَ كُفْرٍ بِاللهِ فَاتِنَةً شَرًّا مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ حَدِيدَةِ اللِّسَانِ سَيِّئَةِ الْخُلُقِ وَاللهِ إِنَّ مِنْهُنَّ غَنَمًا لَا يُحْذَى مِنْهُ وَإِنَّ مِنْهُنَّ غِلَالًا يُفْتَدَى مِنْهُ
