عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ ضِلْعٍ وَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تُرِدْ إِقَامَةَ الضِّلْعِ تُكْسِرْهَا فَدَارِهَا تَعِشْ بِهَا
Narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, woman was created from a rib, and if you try to straighten the rib, you will break it. So be gentle with her, then she will continue to live with you.
