"عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَة عَنْ أَبيه: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: لَمْ يُعْطَ عَبْدٌ بَعْدَ إِيَمانٍ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا خَيْرًا مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ حَسَنَةِ الْخُلُقِ وَدُودٍ وَلُودٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ مِنْهُنَّ لَغُنْمًا لاَ يُجْدَى مِنْهُ، وَإِنَّ مِنْهُنَّ لَغُلاّ () لاَ يُفْدَى مِنْهُ".

"From Qays ibn 'Ubayd, from Mu'awiyah, from his father: that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'No servant has been given anything better after faith in Allah than a good-natured, affectionate, fertile woman.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, among them is a spoil from which no benefit is gained, and indeed, among them is a shackle from which one cannot be ransomed.'"
