Sahih al-Bukhari 3331 (Book 60, Hadith 6) #3184
Treating Women with Kindness

SUMMARY: Women should be treated with kindness and respect as they are delicate and fragile.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah 's Apostle said, "Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ حِزَامٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ الأَشْجَعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ اسْتَوْصُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ، فَإِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ ضِلَعٍ، وَإِنَّ أَعْوَجَ شَىْءٍ فِي الضِّلَعِ أَعْلاَهُ، فَإِنْ ذَهَبْتَ تُقِيمُهُ كَسَرْتَهُ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ أَعْوَجَ، فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Treat women nicely
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is a reminder from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to treat women with kindness and respect. He explains that women are delicate, like a rib, which if you try to straighten it will break. Therefore, we should be gentle when dealing with them and not try to change them or force them into something they don't want. We must also remember that Allah has created us all equal in His eyes regardless of gender or any other factor. The Prophet ﷺ reminds us that treating women nicely is an important part of being a good Muslim and living according to the teachings of Islam.
