3233 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنْبَأَنَا النَّضْرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَا تَتَزَوَّجُ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ فِيهِمْ لَغَيْرَةً شَدِيدَةً»

Commentary
The Helpers (Anshâr) were the people of calm temperament. This is why their womenfolk were domineering upon them. They feared them. Thus, a sort of sharpness had developed in the temperament of the womenfolk of the Helpers. Allâh's Messenger ﷺ had already had wives previously. The fiery-tempered women generally find it hard to bear themselves with their co-wives and husband; rather they turn into a potential headache. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not contact marriage with any woman of the Helpers.
