Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him), addressing the people in a sermon, said: After faith in Allah Almighty, the best thing is a woman of good character who bears many children and is loving; and after disbelief in Allah Almighty, the worst thing is a wicked woman who is sharp-tongued and ill-natured. By Allah! Some women are obedient and cause no hardship, and some women are a yoke from which there is no release.
