Silsilah as-Sahihah 3779 — Women Are Also a Trial, But Why?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, the world is lush and sweet (attractive), and Allah Almighty has made you successors in it so that He may see how you act. So beware of the world and of women, for the first trial among the Children of Israel occurred because of women."
