Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 565 — he said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said
وَعَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ .
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَا تَسْتَقِيمُ لَكَ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى خَلِيقَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ كَالضِّلَعِ ، إِنْ تُقِمْهَا تَكْسِرْهَا ، وَإِنْ تَتْرُكْهَا تَسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا وَفِيهَا عِوَجٌ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman will never stay straight for you upon one single disposition; she is just like a rib: if you try to straighten it completely, you will break it, and if you leave it (as it is), you will benefit from her despite her crookedness."
