العربية (الأصل)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَرْأَةُ كَالضِّلَعِ فَإِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلَى إِقَامَتِهِ تَكْسِرْهُ وَإِنْ تَتْرُكْهُ تَسْتَمْتِعْ بِهِ وَفِيهِ عِوَجٌ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Yahya narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan, who said: I heard my father narrating from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "A woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, you can enjoy it, though it has some crookedness."
