Good Roots
The shaikh, Dr. ʿAbdullāh Al-Bukhārī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Al-Khaṭṭāb ibn Al-Muʿallá Al-Makhzūmī gave his son some long, beneficial advice to take a strong hold of. In it, [he said]:
My dear, young son, a man’s wife is where he finds peace, comfort, and companionship; there’s no life for him while there’s conflict with her. So when you’ve got it in your mind to marry a woman, ask about her family, for indeed, good roots produce sweet fruits.

[زوجةُ الرّجل سَكَنهُ]
أوصى الخطّابُ بن المُعلّى المخزومي ابنه وصيةً نافعة مطوّلة، جاءَ فيها:
"يا بُنيّ إنّ زَوجةَ الرّجلِ سَكَنُهُ،ولا عَيْشَ له مع خِلافِها؛فإذا هَمَمْتَ بنكاحِ امْرأةٍ فَسَلْ عَن أهلِها،فإنّ العُرُوقَ الطّيّبة تُنْبِتُ الثِّمار الحُلوةِ"
