Anas raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu said: it was said: "O Messenger of Allāh, why don't you marry a woman from the Anṣār?" He ﷺ said:
((إِنَّ فِيهِمْ لَغَيْرَةً شَدِيدَةً))
“They are very jealous.”
[Sunan An-Nasā'ē (3233), graded Ṣaḥīḥ by Sheikh Albānī]
Points of benefit:
1. Excessive jealousy is not a praiseworthy characteristic.
2. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so it's important to look for qualities that will allow you to fulfill this commitment
3. Someone might say, why did the Prophet ﷺ marry Umm Salamah even though she described herself as being a jealous woman?
Response: the Prophet ﷺ did not endorse this, instead, he ﷺ said: “I will pray to Allāh for you to take away your jealousy.” - see full ḥadīth:
