The reciter: And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, and Husayn ibn 'Ali narrated to us from Zayd ibn Aslam from Maysarah from Abu Hazim from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:
He who believes in Allah and the Hereafter, if he witnesses any matter he should talk in good terms about it or keep quiet. Act kindly towards woman, for woman is created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you attempt to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, its crookedness will remain there. So act kindly towards women.
من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فإذا شهد أمرا فليتكلم بخير أو ليسكت، واستوصوا بالنساء فإن المرأة خلقت من ضلع وإن أعوج شيء في الضلع أعلاه إن ذهبت تقيمه كسرته وإن تركته لم يزل أعوج استوصوا، بالنساء خيرا .
