Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 25433a
"لَا تَنْكِحُوا الْمَرْأةَ لحُسْنِهَا، فَعَسَى حُسْنُهَا أَنْ يُرْدِيَهَا، وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا الْمَرْأَةَ لِمَالهَا، فَعَسىَ مَالُهَا أنْ يُطْغِيَهَا، وَانِكِحُوهَا لِدِينهَا فَلأَمَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ خَرمَاءُ ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ حَسْنَاءَ لا دِينَ لَهَا".

"Do not marry a woman for her beauty, for her beauty may ruin her; do not marry a woman for her wealth, for her wealth may make her rebellious; marry her for her religion. A black, split-nosed slave woman who is religious is better than a beautiful woman who has no religion".
