Sunan Ibn Majah 1859 (Book 9, Hadith 15) #31211
Marrying for Religion

SUMMARY: Marrying someone for their beauty or wealth is not recommended, instead marry them for their religion.

It was narrated from Abdullah bin Amr that: the Prophet said: "Do not marry women for their beauty for it may lead to their doom. Do not marry them for their wealth, for it may lead them to fall into sin. Rather, marry them for their religion. A black slave woman with piercings who is religious is better".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الإِفْرِيقِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَزَوَّجُوا النِّسَاءَ لِحُسْنِهِنَّ فَعَسَى حُسْنُهُنَّ أَنْ يُرْدِيَهُنَّ وَلاَ تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ لأَمْوَالِهِنَّ فَعَسَى أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ تُطْغِيَهُنَّ وَلَكِنْ تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ عَلَى الدِّينِ وَلأَمَةٌ خَرْمَاءُ سَوْدَاءُ ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Marry women based on her religion
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when it comes to marriage, we should not focus on the physical attributes of a person such as beauty or wealth. Instead, we should focus on the religious aspect of a person and look at how devoted they are to their faith. This is because physical beauty and wealth can be fleeting and may lead people astray from the right path. Even if someone is a black slave woman with piercings, if she is religious then she would be better than someone who has all the physical attributes but no faith in God.
