Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, when some matter comes before him, let him speak good or remain silent. Accept the counsel to treat women well, for woman was created from a rib, and the most crooked of the ribs is the uppermost. If you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked forever."
