وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "أَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ نِسَائِكُمْ" قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنَا قَالَ "مِنْ شَرِّ نِسَائِكُمُ اَلذَّلِيلَةُ فِي أَهْلِهَا اَلْعَزِيزَةُ مَعَ بَعْلِهَا اَلْعَقِيمُ اَلْحَقُودُ اَلَّتِي لاَ تَتَوَرَّعُ عَنْ قَبِيحٍ اَلْمُتَبَرِّجَةُ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا اَلْحَصَانُ مَعَهُ إِذَا حَضَرَ اَلَّتِي لاَ تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَهُ وَ لاَ تُطِيعُ أَمْرَهُ فَإِذَا خَلاَ بِهَا تَمَنَّعَتْ تَمَنُّعَ اَلصَّعْبَةِ عِنْدَ رُكُوبِهَا وَ لاَ تَقْبَلُ لَهُ عُذْراً وَ لاَ تَغْفِرُ لَهُ ذَنْباً".
The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Shall I not inform you about the worst of your women?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (swt), tell us." He said: "The worst of your women is the one who is humble and submissive with her family but domineering and arrogant with her husband. She is barren, spiteful, and does not refrain from committing indecency. She flaunts herself when her husband is absent but is reserved and guarded when he is present. She does not listen to his words nor obey his commands. When he is alone with her, she behaves stubbornly like a difficult mount that resists being ridden. She neither accepts his apology nor forgives his faults."
