Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ لأَرْبَعٍ لِمَالِهَا وَلِحَسَبِهَا وَلِجَمَالِهَا وَلِدِينِهَا فَاظْفَرْ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Zuhayr ibn Harb, Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna, and Ubayd Allah ibn Saeed narrated to us. They said: Yahya ibn Saeed narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah, who informed me: Saeed ibn Abi Saeed informed me, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: "A woman is married for four things: her wealth, her standing, her beauty, and her religion. So seek the one who is religious; may your hands be covered in dust."
