The "When a servant marries, he has completed half of his religion, so let him fear Allah in the remaining half" is narrated by Anas verbatim, and with another wording: "Whoever Allah blesses with a righteous wife, He has helped him with half of his religion, so let him fear Allah in the remaining half." The hadith scholars have differed on its authenticity, classifying it between weak and (good), and Al-Albani graded it as hasan.
