Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Choice of a wife

The Messenger of ALLAH (Salallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) is narrated to have said: Do not marry women on the consideration of the beauty of their face and figure. It may be, their beauty may lead them to a dens tating path. Nor marry them for the sake of their riches and wealth, as their property may make them headstrong and disobedient, but marry them on the consideration of their piety. A jet black bond woman possessing good manners is better than a beautiful woman belonging to a good family who is ill-mannered. [Ibn Majah]
