Hadith.4358 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Dawud al-Karkhi, who said
I said to Abu Abdillah (as), "My wife has passed away. She was compatible with me, and I am thinking about getting married." Imam (as) said: "Consider carefully where you place yourself, with whom you share your wealth, and to whom you reveal your religion, secrets, and trust. If you must proceed, then marry a virgin who is known for goodness and good character. Know that women are created differently: among them are those who are a blessing and those who are a burden; among them are like the crescent moon that delights its owner when it appears; and among them are like darkness. Whoever finds a righteous woman is happy, and whoever is deceived by one has no recourse for revenge. Women are of three types: A woman who is fertile, loving, and supports her husband in his worldly and religious affairs, not helping life's hardships against him. A woman who is barren, neither beautiful nor of good character, and does not help her husband in anything good. And a woman who is loud, argumentative, fault-finding, belittles much, and is not content with little."
4358 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ اَلْكَرْخِيِّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ صَاحِبَتِي هَلَكَتْ وَ كَانَتْ لِي مُوَافِقَةً وَ قَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ فَقَالَ "اُنْظُرْ أَيْنَ تَضَعُ نَفْسَكَ وَ مَنْ تُشْرِكُهُ فِي مَالِكَ وَ تُطْلِعُهُ عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ سِرِّكَ وَ أَمَانَتِكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لاَ بُدَّ فَاعِلاً فَبِكْراً تُنْسَبُ إِلَى اَلْخَيْرِ وَ إِلَى حُسْنِ اَلْخُلُقِ، أَلاَ إِنَّ اَلنِّسَاءَ خُلِقْنَ شَتَّى فَمِنْهُنَّ اَلْغَنِيمَةُ وَ اَلْغَرَامُ وَ مِنْهُنَّ اَلْهِلاَلُ إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِصَاحِبِهِ وَ مِنْهُنَّ اَلظَّلاَمُ فَمَنْ يَظْفَرْ بِصَالِحِهِنَّ يَسْعَدْ وَ مَنْ يُغْبَنْ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ اِنْتِقَامُ وَ هُنَّ ثَلاَثٌ فَامْرَأَةٌ وَلُودٌ وَدُودٌ، تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى دَهْرِهِ لِدُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ وَ لاَ تُعِينُ اَلدَّهْرَ عَلَيْهِ وَ اِمْرَأَةٌ عَقِيمٌ لاَ ذَاتُ جَمَالٍ وَ لاَ خُلُقٍ وَ لاَ تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ وَ اِمْرَأَةٌ صَخَّابَةٌ وَلاَّجَةٌ هَمَّازَةٌ تَسْتَقِلُّ اَلْكَثِيرَ وَ لاَ تَقْبَلُ اَلْيَسِيرَ ".
