كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا أَرَادَ تَزْوِيجَ امْرَأَةٍ بَعَثَ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَ يَقُولُ لِلْمَبْعُوثَةِ شَمِّي لِيتَهَا فَإِنْ طَابَ لِيتُهَا طَابَ عَرْفُهَا وَ انْظُرِي كَعْبَهَا فَإِنْ دَرِمَ كَعْبُهَا عَظُمَ كَعْثَبُهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from one of our companions raising the Hadeeth, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whenever the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> intended to marry a woman, sent over a woman to look at her and he<sup>saww</sup> was saying to the sent woman: ‘Smell her neck, for if her neck is good her customary habits would be good, and look at her heels, for if her heels are trim her knees would be large’.
