خلاصة:
Nahj al-balāgha is a significant Islamic source containing the words of Imam ʿAlī, which play a major role in introducing his character. This article aims to analyze two sayings in Nahj al-balagha: "Woman is a scorpion whose sting is sweet" and "Woman is evil, all in all, and the worst of it is that one cannot do without her." Employing the descriptive-analytical method, irrespective of the reliability of their chains of transmission, this article examines the versions, translations, and linguistic features of these two sayings, along with the views of commentators. By considering clear and non-ambiguous doctrines and relying on linguistic issues, it seeks to attain accurate readings of these two statements. Research findings indicate that Imam ʿAlī consistently held a special value and respect for women. However, the issuance of the above two hadiths pertains to commitments for responsibilities and against the problems in life. Inaccurate interpretations of these two hadiths stem from various factors, including a lack of precise translations, ignorance of the general status of women in Nahj al-balagha, and a lack of understanding of linguistic issues. .

Esmaeili Ahandani, Roghayeh (2015) in a research titled "Woman in the Mirror of Nahj al-Balagha" found that Imam Ali (AS), considering the requirements of the time, expressed certain characteristics of women; just as he has similar statements regarding men, and such sayings cannot be considered evidence of misogyny on his part or in Islam.
(2014) in a research titled "A Reflection on the Narrations of Nahj al-Balagha in the Reproach of Women" stated that the narrations transmitted from Imam Ali (AS) regarding women and discussions related to them, in addition to the chain of narration issues of some of them, require studies of Fiqh al-Hadith and comparison with the Quran, narrations of intellect, the status of the Infallibles, and historical certainties.
