Man's Intention In Marriage
Tradition n. 283
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
مَن تَزَوَّجَ امرَأَةً لا يَتَزَوَّجُها إلاّ لِجَمالِها لَم يَرَ فِيها ما يُحِـبُّ وَ مَن تَزَوَّجَها لِمالِها لا يَتَزَوَّجُها إلاّ لَهُ وَ كَلَـهُ اللّهُ اِلَيهِ، فَعَلَيكُـم بِذاتِ الدِّينِ.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “He who marries a woman only for her beauty (regardless of her Faith), he will not see (gain) what he likes; and he who marries a woman only for her wealth, Allah will leave him with that wealth only. Therefore, it is to you that you look for a religious wife.”
Al-Tahthib, vol. 7, p.399
Tradition n. 284
قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :
مَن تَزَوَّجَ امرَأَةً يُرِيدُ مالَها اَلجَأَهُ اللّهُ إِلى ذلِكَ المالِ.
Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “He who marries a woman for the hope of her wealth, Allah leaves him with only that wealth.”

Tradition n. 285
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
مَن تَزَوَّجَ اِمرَأَةً لِمالِها وَكَلَـهُ اللّهُ اِلَيهِ وَ مَن تَزَوَّجَها لِجَمالِها رَآى فيها ما يَكرَهُ وَ مَن تَزوَّجَها لِدينِها جَمَعَ اللّهُ لَهُ ذلِكَ.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: He who marries a woman for her wealth, Allah will leave him only with that; and he who marries a woman (only) for her beauty, he will see in her what he does not like; but he who marries a woman for her religion, Allah will gather those merits for him.”
Al-Tahthib, vol. 7, p. 399
Tradition n. 286
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
مَن تَزَوَّجَ اِمرَأَةً لِجَمالِها جَعَلَ اللّهُ جَمالَها وَبالاً عليه.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “He who marries a woman (only) for her beauty, Allah will assign the beauty of that woman as a harm and trouble for him.”
Wasa’il ash-Shi’a, vol. 20, p. 53
Tradition n. 287
قالَ الإمامُ السَّجّادُ عليه السلام :
مَن تَزَوَّجَ لِلّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ لِصَلِة الرَّحِمِ تَوَّجَهُ اللّهُ بِتاجِ المُل ـكِ وَالكَرامَةِ.
Imam as-Sajjad (‘a) said: “He who marries for the sake of Allah, Almighty and Glorious, and for the union of kindred, Allah will grant him the crown of glory and honour.”

Tradition n. 288
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
لا تَن كِحِ المَرأَةَ لِجَمالِها فَلَعَلَّ جَمالَها يُر دِيها وَ لا لِمالِها فَلَعَلَّ مالَها يُطغيها وَانكحِ المَرأةَ لِدينِها.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “Do not marry a woman only for her beauty since her beauty may cause her impiety; nor for her wealth because her wealth may cause her disobedience; but marry a religious woman for her Faith.”
