"عن ابن عمر: أن عمر تزوج امرأة فأصابها شمطاء () فطلقها وقال: حصير في بيت خير من امرأة لا تلد والله ما أقربكن بشهوة، ولكنى سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: تزوجوا الودود الولود فإنى مكاثر بكم الأمم يوم القيامة".

"From Ibn 'Umar: that 'Umar married a woman and found her to have white hair (shamta'), so he divorced her and said: A mat in a house is better than a woman who does not bear children. By Allah, I am not closer to you in desire, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Marry the loving and the fertile, for I will boast of you before the nations on the Day of Resurrection."
