Riyad as-Salihin 1879 (Book 19, Hadith 11) #38368
The Dangers of Unrighteousness for Women

SUMMARY: Women should be charitable and seek forgiveness from Allah, as they are more likely to end up in Hell due to their frequent cursing and lack of gratitude towards their husbands.

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Prophet said, "O women folk! You should give charity and be diligent in seeking Allah's forgiveness because I have seen (ie, on the Night of the Ascension to the highest heavens) that dwellers of the Hell are women". A woman amongst them said: "Why is it that the majority of the dwellers of Hell are women?" The Prophet replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. In spite of your lacking in wisdom and failing in religion, you are depriving the wisest of men of their intelligence". Upon this the woman asked: "What is the deficiency in our wisdom and in our religion?" He replied, "Your lack of wisdom can be well judged from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to that one man. You do not offer Salat (prayer) for some days and you do not fast (the whole of) Ramadan sometimes, it is a deficiency in religion". Muslim.
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن النبي قال‏:‏ ‏"‏يا معشر النساء تصدقن، وأكثرن من الاستغفار، فإني رأيتكن أكثر أهل النار‏"‏ قالت امرأة منهن‏:‏ مالنا أكثر أهل النار‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏تكثرن اللعن، وتكفرن العشير مارأيت من ناقصات عقل ودين أغلب لذي لب منكن‏"‏ قالت‏:‏ ما نقصان العقل والدين‏؟‏ قال‏"‏ ‏"‏شهادة امرأتين بشهادة رجل، وتمكث الأيام لا تصلي‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
