It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“A woman is married for four things: for her religion, her beauty, her wealth, and her lineage. So marry a religious woman, may your hands be dusted (i.e., if you do not do so, your hands will touch dust and in the end you will regret it).”

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
