{{Quote|{{Bukhari|1|2|28}}|Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you."}}

{{Quote|Ascha, Ghassan. ''Du statut inférieur de la femme en Islam.'' p 491. Paris, 1989.|
*Better for a man to be splashed by a pig than for him to brush against the elbow of a woman not permitted to him.
*Better to bury an iron needle in the head of one of you than to touch a woman not permitted to him.
*He who touches the palm of a woman not legally his will have red-hot embers put in the palm of his hand on Judgment Day.
*Three things can interrupt prayers if they pass in front of someone praying: a black dog, a woman, and an ass.
