English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Yahya, from Ibn 'Ajlan, from Sa'id — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: 'Which women are best?' He said: 'The one who delights him [her husband] when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands her, and does not oppose him in what he dislikes — regarding herself and his wealth.'
