The Crown and the Weight [wives]
It is reported that ‘Abd Al-Raḥmān b. Abzā – Allāh be pleased with him – said:
A righteous woman with a man is like a great gold-leafed crown on the head of a king, and a bad woman with a man is like a heavy weight upon an old man. Ibn Abī Al-Shaybah, Al-Muṣannaf article 17428.
