Arabic text

1968 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَخَيَّرُوا لِنُطَفِكُمْ، وَانْكِحُوا الْأَكْفَاءَ، وَأَنْكِحُوا إِلَيْهِمْ»

Commentary

The manners, good conduct and religion should be given preference when looking for a spouse. This is the meaning of the compatibility of the spouses. Many righteous girls will remain without marriage if the family status and wealth etc, is given precedence to religion; and this will cause them suffering and hardship.
