The reciter: Zuhayr ibn Harb, Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna, and 'Ubayd Allah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us from 'Ubayd Allah, who said: Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id informed me from his father from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:

A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, her status. her beauty and her religion, so try to get one who is religious, may your hand be besmeared with dust.

تنكح المرأة لأربع لمالها ولحسبها ولجمالها ولدينها فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك
