Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is the ruling of this verse common for both divorced and widowed women?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, "Which verse?" I said, "(This verse:) 'And the waiting period of pregnant women ends with the delivery of their child.'" So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Yes."

Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this verse: "And the waiting period of pregnant women ends with the delivery of their child."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "A woman is married for four reasons: her wealth, her lineage, her religiousness, and her beauty.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman is married for three reasons: her wealth, her beauty, and her religion. So give preference to the religious woman, may your hands be dust-covered."

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "A man's virtue is his religion, his dignity, and his character, and his origin (excellence) is his intellect."

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Bravery and cowardice are found among men, and the same is true for generosity and lineage. A man's generosity is his religion, and a man's lineage is his character, whether he is a Persian or a Syrian."
