3232. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Women are married for four things: Their wealth, their nobility, their beauty and their religious commitment. Choose the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust." (Sahih)
3230 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " تُنْكَحُ النِّسَاءُ لِأَرْبَعَةٍ: لِمَالِهَا، وَلِحَسَبِهَا، وَلِجَمَالِهَا، وَلِدِينِهَا، فَاظْفَرْ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ "

In this narration, there is no explicit mention of contracting marriage with adulterers/adulteresses. But the conclusion of the Prophet ﷺ stating: "Go for the one with religious disposition (bi Dhâtid dîn") is very much the same, that an adulteress should not be taken in marriage, because she does not possess a religious disposition.
