English Translation
Yahya narrated to us from Ibn 'Ajlan, he said: I heard my father narrating from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A woman is like a rib. If you try too hard to straighten it, you will break it. And if you leave it, you will enjoy it, though it has some crookedness."
