1086. Jābir narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed the woman is married for her religion, her wealth, and her beauty, so take the one with religion, and may your hands be dusty.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from ‘Awf bin Mālik, ‘Aishah, ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr, and Abū Sa‘eed. (Abū ‘Eisā said:) The Ḥadīth of Jābir is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth.

Arabic text

١٠٨٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرٍ ؛ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُنْكَحُ عَلَى دِينِهَا وَمَالِهَا وَجَمَالِهَا»، فَعَلَيْكَ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَعَائِشَةَ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ. حَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Usually people see three things in a woman for marriage. Her wealth, beauty and lineage or family but Islām recommends religiosity.
