Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الزّ
ِنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَسْتَقِيمُ لَكَ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى خَلِيقَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ كَالضِّلَعِ إِنْ تُقِمْهَا تَكْسِرْهَا وَإِنْ تَتْرُكْهَا تَسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا وَفِيهَا عِوَجٌ

English Translation
Yazid narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Ishaq informed us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A woman will never be completely straight for you upon a single disposition. She is like a rib: if you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, you can enjoy her while there is crookedness in her."
