The answer

We have not come across a with this exact wording. However, there are warnings against marrying a woman for her beauty or wealth, and an emphasis on prioritizing religious commitment. Beauty is one of the desired qualities in a woman, but it is blameworthy to make it the primary objective. Rather, religious commitment should be prioritized, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So win the one with piety, your hands will be soiled." He also forbade marrying a beautiful woman if the intention was merely her beauty without other qualities, or if her beauty was so extreme that excessive coquetry and contention were feared.
