Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman is married for one of these reasons: her beauty, or her wealth, or her character, or her religion; so you must choose the woman who is religious and of good character, may your hand be covered in dust!"
Ahmad, Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
