جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2613
Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a Khtubah in which he exhorted them, then he said: O women! Give charity for you are the majority of the people of the Fire. A woman among them said: And why is that O Messenger of Allah? He said: Because of your cursing so much. - meaning your ungratefulness towards your husbands. He said: And I have not seen any among those lacking in intellect and religion who are more difficult upon people possessing reason and insight than you. A woman among them said: And what is the deficiency of her intellect and religion? He said: The testimony of two women among you is like the testimony of a man, and the deficiency in your religion is menstruation, because one of you will go three or four days without performing Salat.
