Hadith.4621 - Jabir narrated from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that he said
"Regarding women, do not consult them in confidential matters, and do not obey them in matters concerning relatives.
When a woman grows old, the better half of her qualities departs, and the worse half remains, her beauty fades, her tongue becomes sharper, and her womb becomes barren.
However, when a man grows old, the worse half of his qualities departs, and the better half remains, his intellect becomes more steadfast, his judgment more firm, and his ignorance decreases."
4621 - وَ رَوَى جَابِرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
"فِي اَلنِّسَاءِ لاَ تُشَاوِرُوهُنَّ فِي اَلنَّجْوَى وَ لاَ تُطِيعُوهُنَّ فِي ذِي قَرَابَةٍ إِنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا كَبِرَتْ ذَهَبَ خَيْرُ شَطْرَيْهَا وَ بَقِيَ شَرُّهُمَا ذَهَبَ جَمَالُهَا وَ اِحْتَدَّ لِسَانُهَا وَ عَقِمَ رَحِمُهَا وَ إِنَّ اَلرَّجُلَ إِذَا كَبِرَ ذَهَبَ شَرُّ شَطْرَيْهِ وَ بَقِيَ خَيْرُهُمَا ثَبَتَ عَقْلُهُ وَ اِسْتَحْكَمَ رَأْيُهُ وَ قَلَّ جَهْلُهُ".
