Bukhari

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) outwardly used the words "glass," but by this he meant that women are delicate. And by "breaking the glass" is meant their falling down and getting hurt, but in reality, what he intended was that just as glass breaks when struck and then cannot be repaired, similarly, the sound of Hudi (the camel driver's song) would create a love for singing in the hearts of the women, and there is a fear that their morals would become corrupted by this, after which their reformation would be very difficult.

(2)
In any case, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), by uttering these words, intended the inner meaning rather than the apparent meaning, and there is no harm in doing so.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
By "glass vessels," the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) meant women, because they too are delicate in constitution like glass.

Hadith Commentary: Anjasha was a servant of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and was of dark complexion. His singing voice was extremely beautiful and captivating, to the extent that even the camels would become enraptured upon hearing it. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam likened women to glass due to their delicacy, and he forbade Anjasha from driving the mounts quickly, lest in the swiftness any woman might fall from her mount. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned only Anjasha by name; this is the reason for the relevance of this narration to the chapter.

Hadith Commentary:
In the first hadith, the name of Aisha radi Allahu anha is mentioned in a shortened form as "Aish," and in the second hadith, the name of Anjasha is mentioned simply as "Anjash." The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, out of love and affection, omitted the last letter from these names when calling them, and doing so is permissible. In one hadith, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam called Uthman radi Allahu anhu by saying "Ya Uthm."
(al-Adab al-Mufrad, Hadith: 828)

Hadith Commentary:
By "glasses" (shishon), women were meant, who are in reality as delicate as glass. Anjasha, a slave, was the camel driver and had a very melodious voice.
Because of his singing, the camels became excited and started running swiftly.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) feared that the women might fall, so he said, "Drive gently."
Some have criticized this by saying that women were likened to glass and considered as delicate as glass, but this analogy is very fine.
In reality, women are indeed so delicate.
It is a great favor of the Mercy to the Worlds (rahmatu lil-'alamin) upon the delicate gender that he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made men aware of their weakness and delicacy at every step.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Anjasha, a black man of Abyssinian descent, was a slave who would recite poetic chants (huda) with great melodiousness and drive the camels. The camels, affected by his melodious voice, began to run with excitement. Women were riding on those camels. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sensed a danger that perhaps the women might fall, so he said: "Drive them gently."
(2)
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) likened women to delicate glass vessels because of their sensitive nature, for if women become broken-hearted, it is very difficult for them to return to their natural state, just as glass quickly breaks and then cannot be repaired. Since women’s hearts are weak and they are quickly affected by melodious voices, their inclination towards listening to singing increases, and singing is a prelude to mental distraction. Therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) cautioned Anjasha.
(3)
In any case, it is a great favor of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) upon this delicate gender that he constantly reminded men of their weakness and delicacy at every step. The purpose of Abu Qilabah’s statement at the end of the hadith is that since the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was at the highest ranks of eloquence and rhetoric, such speech was befitting for him. If an ordinary person were to use such a metaphor, you would begin to criticize him. (Fath al-Bari: 10/669)

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Yahdu:
He was singing to make the camels walk faster.

(2)
Ruwaid:
Slowly, gently. Qawārīr is the plural of qārūrah, meaning crystal, glass. Women have been likened to glass due to their delicacy and weakness, as they, like glass, are easily broken. Performing tasks that require much effort is difficult for them, or they are easily affected. Therefore, due to the risk of them falling or feeling distress and pain, there was a fear if the pace was too fast.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: According to Abu Qilabah, the purpose of likening women to glass was that they are quickly affected by melodious voices. Anjashah radi Allahu anhu had a melodious voice. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sensed that perhaps the women, being influenced by his voice, might become infatuated with him, and generally, saying such things in front of people is not considered good. Therefore, Abu Qilabah said, "If any of you had said this, you would have taken it badly, questioning what he had said about women, and you would have objected to the one who said it." There is a proverb: "al-ghina’ ruqyatu al-zina"—singing is an incantation for adultery, or melody is a spell for fornication.

Benefit:
It is established from this hadith that one should treat women with gentleness; a detailed explanation regarding this has already been discussed.
