200 Golden Hadiths.

I have started to read these today, I haven't read them all but those that I have read I have understood except No 74

Women may be married for four things,
Their wealth,
Their lineage,
Their beauty,
Their religion.

What about love, Is that not important in a marriage ?

This hadeeth was narrated by al-Bukhaari (4802) and Muslim (1466) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said: “A woman may be married for four things: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty and her religious commitment. Seek the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).”


There is nothing in this hadeeth to suggest that it is enjoined or encouraged to marry a woman for her beauty, lineage or wealth. Rather what it means is that these are things that people look for in marriage. Some look for a wife who is beautiful, some look for a wife who is descended from a noble family, some look for a wealthy wife, and some look for a wife who is religiously-committed – and this last is what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged when he said: “Seek the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).”


note that women may be married ( not should be married for four )
Mohammad suggested that the fourth reason is most valid correct one
love was essentional in all those cases of marriages i think
it's just whom people choosed to fall in love with
based on weather that person was beautiful .. wealthy . noble . or rightous religious

[Free1]

The concept of romantic love we use in our western modern civilization is not universal. While love may exist in all societies, the emphasis is different in different societies and times.

It is also common to assume romantic love is the only and best foundation for marriage and creating a family, but it may actually be a poor basis for building a family.

Adi ibn Hatim reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned the Hellfire so he turned his face aside and sought refuge from it, then he mentioned the Hellfire again so he turned his face aside and sought refuge from it. The Prophet said, “Protect yourself from the Hellfire even with half of a date in charity, and if he cannot find it then with a kind word.”

it's saying to give charity even if person was extremely poor
even half a date " fruit " and if he cannot afford even that
then simple kind words are considered charity

I agree. There are many countries in the world where marriages are arranged by families, in some, they are even bartered.

Women may be married for four things,
Their wealth,
Their lineage,
Their beauty,
Their religion.
