Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَمُرَةَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْبَصْرَةِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ ضِلْعٍ وَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تُرِدْ إِقَامَةَ الضِّلْعِ تَكْسِرْهَا فَدَارِهَا تَعِشْ بِهَا.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Awf narrated to us, who said: and a man told me, saying: I heard Samura delivering a sermon on the pulpit of Basra, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Woman was created from a rib, and if you try to straighten the rib, you will break it; so deal kindly with her and you will live with her."
