عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ ضِلَعٍ وَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تُرِدْ إِقَامَةَ الضِّلَعِ تَكْسِرْهَا فَدَارِهَا تَعِشْ بِهَا
Narrated by Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Woman was created from a rib; if you try to straighten her, you will break her, so treat her with kindness and gentleness, so that you may continue to live with her.
