Hadith.4363 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family), when intending to marry a woman, would send someone to look at her and said: "Smell her neck, for if her neck smells good, her scent will also be pleasant. And if her ankles are fleshy, her private parts will be well-developed."
4363 - وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَ قَالَ "شَمِّي لِيتَهَا فَإِنْ طَابَ لِيتُهَا طَابَ عَرْفُهَا وَ إِنْ دَرِمَ كَعْبُهَا عَظُمَ كَعْثَبُهَا".
