Chain (isnad): وحدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حدثنا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم ، قَالَ

مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ ، وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ، فَإِذَا شَهِدَ أَمْرًا فَلْيَتَكَلَّمْ بِخَيْرٍ أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ ، وَاسْتَوْصُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ ، فَإِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ ضِلَعٍ ، وَإِنَّ أَعْوَجَ شَيْءٍ فِي الضِّلَعِ ، أَعْلَاهُ إِنْ ذَهَبْتَ تُقِيمُهُ كَسَرْتَهُ ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ أَعْوَجَ ، اسْتَوْصُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ خَيْرًا

Translation: Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:He who believes in Allah and the Hereafter, if he witnesses any matter he should talk in good terms about it or keep quiet. Act kindly towards woman, for woman is created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you attempt to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, its crookedness will remain there. So act kindly towards women (hadith-api (Darussalam / Hamidullah…))
