"لا تَزَوَّجُوا النِّسَاءَ لحُسْنهنَّ، فَعَسَى حُسْنُهُنَّ أنْ يُرْدِيَهُنَّ، وَلا تَزَوَّجُوهُن لأمْوالِهنَّ، فَعَسَى أمْوَالُهُن أَنْ تُطَغيَهُنَّ وَلكنْ تَزوَّجُوهُنَّ عَلى الدِّينِ، وَلأَمَةٌ خَرْمَاءُ سَوْدَاءُ ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ".

the Prophet said: “Do not marry women for their beauty for it may lead to their doom. Do not marry them for their wealth, for it may lead them to fall into sin. Rather, marry them for their religion. A black slave woman with piercings who is religious is better.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَزَوَّجُوا النِّسَاءَ لِحُسْنِهِنَّ فَعَسَى حُسْنُهُنَّ أَنْ يُرْدِيَهُنَّ وَلاَ تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ لأَمْوَالِهِنَّ فَعَسَى أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ تُطْغِيَهُنَّ وَلَكِنْ تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ عَلَى الدِّينِ وَلأَمَةٌ خَرْمَاءُ سَوْدَاءُ ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not marry women solely based on their beauty, as their beauty may cause them harm. And do not marry them for their wealth, as their wealth may make them arrogant. Rather, marry the woman who is virtuous and has faith, even if she is of a black complexion and her physical features are not perfect."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَنْكِحُوا النِّسَاءَ بِحَسَبِهِنَّ فَعَسَى حَسَبُهُنَّ أنْ يُؤْذِيَهُنَّ وَلَا تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ لِأَمْوَالِهِنَّ فَعَسَى أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ يُطْغِيَهُنَّ فَلَأَمَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ خَرْمَاءُ ذَاتُ دَيْنٍ أَفْضَلُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ says, "Do not marry women for their beauty, as their beauty may cause them to become arrogant. And do not marry women for their wealth, as their wealth may lead them to be disobedient. Rather, marry them for their faith. A black slave woman who is pious is better than a beautiful woman who is irreligious." This is the preferred wording of the hadith of Ibn Bashran, and in the narration of Abu Zakariyya may Allah have mercy on him, it is said "a hyena." And Allah knows best.
رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَنْكِحُوا النِّسَاءَ لِحُسْنِهِنَّ فَعَسَى حُسْنُهُنَّ أَنْ يُرْدِيَهُنَّ وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا النِّسَاءَ لِأَمْوَالِهِنَّ فَعَسَى أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ تُطْغِيَهُنَّ وَانْكِحُوهُنَّ عَلَى الدِّينِ فَلَأَمَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ خَرْقَاءُ ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ بِشْرَانَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا رَحِمَهُ اللهُ حَرْبَاءُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
"لَا تَنكحُوا النِّسَاءَ لحُسْنِهِنَّ، فَعَسَى حُسْنُهُنَّ أنْ يُرْديَهُنَّ، وَلَا تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ لأَمْوَالِهِنَّ، فَعَسَى أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ تُطْغِيَهُنَّ، وَانْكِحُوهُنَّ عَلَى الدِّيِن، وَلَأَمَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ خَرمَاءُ (*) ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ".
