حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الْمَرْأَةُ كَالضِّلَعِ، إِنْ أَقَمْتَهَا كَسَرْتَهَا، وَإِنِ اسْتَمْتَعْتَ بِهَا اسْتَمْتَعْتَ بِهَا وَفِيهَا عِوَجٌ ".

ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbd Allāh said: Mālik narrated to me, from Abū al-Zinād, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah: The Messenger of Allah said: ‘A woman is like a rib. If you try to straighten it, you will break it; and if you enjoy her, you enjoy her while there is still crookedness in her.’
