لَا تُمَلِّكِ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا يُجَاوِزُ نَفْسَهَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَنْعَمُ لِحَالِهَا وَ أَرْخَى لِبَالِهَا وَ أَدْوَمُ لِجَمَالِهَا فَإِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ رَيْحَانَةٌ وَ لَيْسَتْ بِقَهْرَمَانَة .
Imam Ali (as):
Do not assign to a woman a matter that is beyond her capability and strength, for this is more prosperous to her state, more fitting for her temperament and more enduring for her beauty. Verily a woman is a flower, and she is not an administrator.
