١٨٠٢٦ - حدثنا ابن علية عن يونس عن معاوية بن قرة عن أبيه قال: قال عمر: ما استفاد رجل -أو قال عبد- بعد إيمان باللَّه خيرًا من امرأة حسنة الخلق ودود ولود وما استفاد رجل بعد الكفر باللَّه شرًا من امرأة سيئة الخلق حديدة اللسان ⦗٤٧٤⦘ ثم قال: إن منهن غنمًا لا يحذى منه وإن منهن (غلالًا يفدى) (١) منه (٢).
Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after believing in Allah Almighty, no greater good has been granted to a man than a woman with good character, who is very loving and bears children. And after disbelief, no greater calamity has befallen a man than a wife with bad character and a sharp tongue. Some women are such blessings that one cannot be disinterested in them, and some women are such calamities that one cannot escape from them.
