O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women). They asked, 'Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger?' He replied, 'You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.'
— Muhammad Medieval
