Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 25430a
"لَا تَنكحُوا النِّسَاءَ لحُسْنِهِنَّ، فَعَسَى حُسْنُهُنَّ أنْ يُرْديَهُنَّ، وَلَا تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ لأَمْوَالِهِنَّ، فَعَسَى أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ تُطْغِيَهُنَّ، وَانْكِحُوهُنَّ عَلَى الدِّيِن، وَلَأَمَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ خَرمَاءُ () ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ".

"Do not marry women for their beauty, for their beauty may ruin them; and do not marry them for their wealth, for their wealth may make them rebellious; but marry them for religion. A black, split-nosed slave woman who is religious is better".
