Authentic hadithNarrated by Muslim
The world is but an enjoyment and the best of worldly enjoyments is a righteous woman
عن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ، وَخَيْرُ مَتَاعِ الدُّنْيَا الْمَرْأَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ».
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that worldly life and what it contains is but a thing enjoyed for a while and then comes to an end and that the best worldly enjoyment is the righteous wife: when her husband looks at her, she pleases him; if he asks her for something, she obeys him; and when he is away from her, she safeguards him regarding herself and his wealth.
