سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا الْمَرْأَةُ قِلَادَةٌ فَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَا تَقَلَّدُهُ قَالَ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ خَطَرٌ لَا لِصَالِحَتِهِنَّ وَ لَا لِطَالِحَتِهِنَّ أَمَّا صَالِحَتُهُنَّ فَلَيْسَ خَطَرُهَا الذَّهَبَ وَ الْفِضَّةَ بَلْ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ وَ أَمَّا طَالِحَتُهُنَّ فَلَيْسَ التُّرَابُ خَطَرَهَا بَلِ التُّرَابُ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from one of his companions who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘But rather, the woman is a necklace, therefore consider what you would be wearing’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘No value can be placed for the woman, neither a righteous one nor a wicked one. As for the righteous one, so her value is not the gold and the silver, but she is better than the gold and the silver; and as for the wicked one, so her value is not the dirt, but the dirt is better than her’.
