حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْمَرْأَةُ كَالضِّلَعِ، إِنْ أَقَمْتَهَا كَسَرْتَهَا، وَإِنِ اسْتَمْتَعْتَ بِهَا اسْتَمْتَعْتَ بِهَا وَفِيهَا عِوَجٌ ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
وَقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّمَا الْمَرْأَةُ كَالضِّلَعِ. আর নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর বাণী, নারীরা পাঁজরের হাড়ের মত। ৫১৮৪. আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, নারীরা হচ্ছে পাঁজরের হাড়ের ন্যায়। যদি একেবারে সোজা করতে চাও, তাহলে ভেঙ্গে যাবে। সুতরাং, যদি তোমরা তাদের থেকে উপকার লাভ করতে চাও, তাহলে ঐ বাঁকা অবস্থাতেই লাভ করতে হবে। [৩৩৩১; মুসলিম ১৭/১৭, হাঃ ১৪৬৮] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৪৮০৩, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
