وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوساً مَعَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا اَلنِّسَاءَ وَ فَضْلَ بَعْضِهِنَّ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "أَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ نِسَائِكُمْ" قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنَا قَالَ "إِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ نِسَائِكُمُ اَلْوَلُودَ اَلْوَدُودَ اَلسَّتِيرَةَ اَلْعَفِيفَةَ اَلْعَزِيزَةَ فِي أَهْلِهَا اَلذَّلِيلَةَ مَعَ بَعْلِهَا اَلْمُتَبَرِّجَةَ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا اَلْحَصَانَ مَعَ غَيْرِهِ اَلَّتِي تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَهُ وَ تُطِيعُ أَمْرَهُ وَ إِذَا خَلاَ بِهَا بَذَلَتْ لَهُ مَا أَرَادَ مِنْهَا وَ لَمْ تَبَذَّلْ لَهُ تَبَذُّلَ اَلرَّجُلِ ".
Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Abu Hamzah al-Thumali, from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, who said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) when we began discussing women and the virtues of some over others. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Shall I not inform you of the best of your women?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (swt), tell us." He (saws) said: "The best of your women is the one who is loving and fertile, modest and chaste, honorable among her family, humble with her husband, displaying her beauty to her husband while guarding herself from others. She listens to his words, obeys his commands, and when he is alone with her, she offers him what he desires, without imitating the mannerisms of men."
