قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) شَكَا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا يَلْقَى مِنْ سُوءِ خُلُقِ سَارَةَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْمَرْأَةِ مَثَلُ الضِّلْعِ الْمُعْوَجِ إِنْ أَقَمْتَهُ كَسَرْتَهُ وَ إِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ اسْتَمْتَعْتَ بِهِ اصْبِرْ عَلَيْهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Al Ahmar, from Muhammad Al Wasity who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Ibrahim<sup>as</sup> complained to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic from what he<sup>as</sup> faced from the evil manners of Sarah<sup>as</sup>. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Revealed unto him<sup>as</sup>: “But rather, and example of the woman is the example of the crooked rib. If you<sup>as</sup> were to straighten it, you will break it, but if you were to leave it (as it is), you<sup>as</sup> will enjoy with it. Be patient upon her”’.
