أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْمَرْأَةِ كَالضِّلَعِ إِنْ أَرَدْتَ إِقَامَتَهَا كُسِرَتْ وَإِنَّ تَسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا تَسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا وَفِيهَا عِوَجٌ فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا مِنْ عِوَجٍ»
