Chapter on the Blameworthy Traits and Characteristics of Women
وَ قَامَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ خَطِيباً فَقَالَ "أَيُّهَا اَلنَّاسُ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ خَضْرَاءَ اَلدِّمَنِ " قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ وَ مَا خَضْرَاءُ اَلدِّمَنِ قَالَ "اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلْحَسْنَاءُ فِي مَنْبِتِ اَلسَّوْءِ".
The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "O people, beware of the green growth in a dung heap." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, what is the green growth in a dung heap?" He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم replied: "A beautiful woman raised in a bad environment."
