The Prophet (sallAllaahu alaihi wa sallam) said,

"Verily, from the blessings bestowed upon the woman is that her engagement
is easy, her dowry is easy, and her womb is easy."

This Hadeeth has been collected by: Imaam Ahmad in his Musnad (6/77, 24522), and
by Imaam Ibn Hibbaan (9/405, 4095), and by Imaam At-Tabaraanee in Al-Awsat
(4/62, 3612), and by Imaam Al-Haakim (2/196, 2739) and by Imaam Abu Na'eem in
Al-Hilya (3/163), and by Imaam Al-Bayhaqee (7/235, 14135), by way of Usaamah Bin
Zayd Al-Laythee on the authority of Safwaan Bin Saleem on the authority of 'Urwah
on the authority of 'Aaisha (radi Allahu anha) .

Imaam Al-Haakim said this hadeeth is upon the conditions of Imaam Muslim, and
Imaam Ath-Thahabee agreed with him. Imaam Al-'Iraaqee said its chain is good and
Imaam Al-Abaanee said its chain is Hasan.

Imaam Al-Manaawee said in At-Tayseer:

(Verily, the blessings bestowed upon the woman...): (meaning), from her
blessings.

(...her engagement is easy...): with a Kasrah, (meaning), that it is easy for the
man seeking her hand in marriage to ask those who are responsible for her their
permission to marry her; and that their answer is received and/or attained with ease,
without any hesitation, (severing of the process and without) conditions or
stipulations.

(...her dowry is easy...): (meaning), there is no hardship for the man who seeks her
hand in marriage to come up with and find (a dowry) which is outside of his basic
needs, (meaning that it will not take away from his basic needs.)

(...and her womb is easy.): (meaning) for children, so she gets pregnant quickly and
easily and has a lot of off-spring.
