Hadith 1086

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُنْكَحُ عَلَى دِينِهَا ، وَمَالِهَا ، وَجَمَالِهَا ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ ". قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، وَعَائِشَةَ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Jabir narrated that:` The Prophet said: "Indeed the woman is married for her religion, her wealth, and her beauty, so take the one with religion, and may your hands be dusty."

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
In the narration of Bukhari and Muslim, four things are mentioned;
the fourth thing is her lineage and family nobility.

2:
This command has been given because a religious (deen-daar) woman is, in the true sense, of good character, obedient and loyal to her husband, which brings pleasantness to a person's social life, and the offspring raised in her lap also become righteous and religious.
On the contrary, the other three types of women generally become a source of trouble for a person and also a cause of corruption for the children.

3:
Here, a curse is not intended; rather, the purpose is to encourage striving and effort in seeking marriage.
