2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban al-Ahmar from Muhammad al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said,

‘Ibrahim once complained before Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, because of the wicked moral behavior of Sarah and Allah most High, sent him revelation that said, ‘Women are like crooked ribs, on trying to straighten you only cause it to snap and break apart but you can benefit by leaving it alone (the way it is), so you must exercise patience.’”
