Book 8: Marriage
وَفِي رِوَايَةِ عَمْرِوِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ جَدِّهِ عِنْدَ اِبْنِ مَاجَهْ : { أَنَّ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ كَانَ دَمِيمً ا 1‏ وَأَنَّ اِمْرَأَتَهُ قَالَتْ : لَوْلَا مَخَافَةُ اَللَّهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ لَبَسَقْتُ فِي وَجْهِهِ } 2‏ .‏
Ibn Majah reported the narration of 'Amr bin Shu'aib, on this father's authority, from his grandfather:

"Thabit bin Qais was very unattractive and his wife said, 'Were it not for the fear of Allah, when he entered my presence I would spit in his face.'"
