Hadith on Women: Best of your women, worst of your women

Abu Udhaynah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best of your women are loving, fertile, suitable, and comforting, if they fear Allah. The worst of your women unveil their beauty, take pride in their appearance, and they are hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow.

عَنْ أَبِي أُذَيْنَةَ الصَّدَفِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَيْرُ نِسَائِكُمُ الْوَدُودُ الْوَلُودُ الْمُوَاتِيَةُ الْمُوَاسِيَةُ إِذَا اتَّقَيْنَ اللَّهَ وَشَرُّ نِسَائِكُمُ الْمُتَبَرِّجَاتُ الْمُتَخَيِلاتُ وَهُنَّ الْمُنَافِقَاتُ لا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْهُنَّ إِلا مِثْلُ الْغُرَابِ الأَعْصَمِ
