It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked: "Which woman is the best?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, replied: "She is the one who, when her husband looks at her, pleases him; and when he commands her, she obeys him; and she does not oppose him in that which he dislikes regarding herself and his wealth."

Narrated by Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) to look at a girl and said: Smell the side teeth of this girl and look at the muscle above her heel.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Jabir! Do you have a wife? I replied: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Was she previously married or a virgin? I said: When I married her, she was previously married. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not marry a virgin girl? I said: My father was martyred with you in such-and-such battle and left behind daughters, and I did not like to bring a young girl like them among them; rather, I married this woman so that she could comb the hair of my sisters, and if their shirt was torn, she could sew it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have made a very good decision.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Have you gotten married? I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Was she a virgin or a widow? I said: She was a widow. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not marry a virgin, so that she would play with you and you would play with her? I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred on the day of Uhud and left behind seven daughters among the survivors, so I did not like to add another inexperienced one like them. I chose a woman who would comb their hair and look after them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have done the right thing.

. (Third chain of narration) There is a similar narration, except that in it: The Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you have bed sheets? I replied: O Messenger of Allah! Where would we get bed sheets from? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Right now you are poor and have little wealth, but beware! Soon there will be sheets. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Today, when I tell my wife to move her sheets away from me, she says: Did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say that soon you will have bed sheets? So how can I leave them?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a proposal for Sayyiduna Julaibib (may Allah be pleased with him) to the father of an Ansari woman. Her father said: I will consult her mother. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Alright. That man went to his wife and mentioned the matter to her. She said: No, by Allah! This cannot happen. Has the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) found only Julaibib for us? We did not even give her in marriage to so-and-so and so-and-so. The girl was listening to this conversation from behind the curtain. The man set out to inform the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The girl said: Are you rejecting the command of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? If he (peace and blessings be upon him) has chosen him, then marry me to him. By saying this, the girl revealed the hidden matter to her parents. They said: She is speaking the truth. Her father presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: If you are pleased, then we are also pleased with this match. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am pleased. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Julaibib to that girl. Afterwards, once the people of Madinah were frightened, Sayyiduna Julaibib mounted to dispel it, but when the Muslims reached there, they found Julaibib in such a state that he had been killed, and some polytheists were lying dead around him. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw that woman, and her house was the most prosperous among the houses of Madinah.
