حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ، فَإِذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ، قَدْ جَاءَ فَكَلَّمَ امْرَأَتَهُ فِي شَيْءٍ، فَكَأَنَّهَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، وَعَادَ فَعَادَتْ، فَقَالَ: مَا تَزِدْنَ عَلَى مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الْمَرْأَةُ (١) كَالضِّلْعِ، فَإِنْ ثَنَيْتَهَا انْكَسَرَتْ وَفِيهَا بَلْغَةٌ وَأَوَدٌ " (٢)، ،

Nuaim bin Qanab says that I was heading towards "Rabadha". Shortly after, Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived. He said something to his wife and she replied back to him. This happened twice. Then Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You people cannot go beyond the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) that a woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten her, she will break, otherwise you will have to live with her as she is, with her crookedness and foolishness."
