حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبيُّ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ الْإِفْرِيقِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَزَوَّجُوا النِّسَائَ لِحُسْنِهِنَّ فَعَسَی حُسْنُهُنَّ أَنْ يُرْدِيَهُنَّ وَلَا تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ لِأَمْوَالِهِنَّ فَعَسَی أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ تُطْغِيَهُنَّ وَلَکِنْ تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ عَلَی الدِّينِ وَلَأَمَةٌ خَرْمَائُ سَوْدَائُ ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1859
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: 'Do not marry women for their beauty, for it may lead to their doom Do not marry them for their wealth, for it may lead them to fall into sin. Rather, marry them for their religion. A black slave woman with piercings who is religious is better." (Da'if)
