Is there a hadith that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said take care of your women three times and he cried whilst saying it?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Wehave not come across a narration that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, “take care of your women” three times and thereafter he sallallahu alaihi wa sallam cried.

There is a similar narration to this in Sahih al-Bukhari. However, in that hadith there is no mention of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam crying.

Translation: Treat women nicely, for a woman is created from the rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion. If you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. Treat women nicely. [sahih al-bukhari (4/133)]

When narrating hadith, one must exercise caution and not narrate hadith or pass on hadith without verifying its authenticity.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
