Authentic hadithNarrated by Bukhari & Muslim

I am not leaving behind a more harmful trial for men than women

عن أسامة بن زيد رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً أَضَرَّ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ».

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that he did not leave behind a more harmful trial and test for men than women. In the case of a man's wife, he may follow her in things contrary to the Shariah, and in the case of an unrelated woman, he may associate with her and meet her privately, which leads to evil consequences.
