468 – Abu Khaythama related to us; Yahya ibn Saʿid al-Qattan related to us, from Ibn ʿAjlan, who said: I heard my father recount, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “A woman is like a rib: if you insist on straightening it you will break it, but if you leave it you may benefit from it while some curvature remains.”
٤٦٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «الْمَرْأَةُ كَالضِّلَعِ إِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلَى إِقَامَتِهَا تَكْسِرْهَا وَإِنْ تَتْرُكْهُ تَسْتَمْتِعْ بِهِ وَفِيهِ عِوَجٌ»
