Chapter 3 | Kinds of Women
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﷺ النِّسَاءُ أَرْبَعٌ جَامِعٌ مُجْمِعٌ وَرَبِيعٌ مُرْبِعٌ وَكَرْبٌ مُقْمِعٌ وَغُلٌّ قَمِلٌ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfafiy from af-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, or ‘Amir al- Mu’minin has said, ‘Women are of four kinds: a universal goodness, a fountain of breeding, an oppressive over-burdening or feed for parasites.”’
