Hadith: I am not leaving behind a more harmful trial for men than women
عن أسامة بن زيد رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
«مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً أَضَرَّ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه] - [صحيح البخاري: 5096]

’Usāmah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"I am not leaving behind a more harmful trial for men than women."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim] - [Sahih Bukhari - 5096]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that he did not leave behind a more harmful trial and test for men than women. In the case of a man's wife, he may follow her in things contrary to the Shariah, and in the case of an unrelated woman, he may associate with her and meet her privately, which leads to evil consequences.
