as salam alykom
Let me take a stab on this Umm.
First i d start by trying to clarify the word "A`ql" used in the arabic text that is translated here into intelligence.
Actually the word A`ql can be best translated as mind, brain or the like. it is the part of the body with which we understand. The verb is Ya`qel elshaya which means to understand it. Intelligence is a skill we develop using this part "A`ql'. When the Messenger refered to a deficiency of A`qla, at the same hadeeth he explained it as the testimony on which I can elaborate if u want. Thus, in brief, women tend to be more emotional specially at certain times like menses and pregnancy when the level of hormone changes leading to this difference of emotions.
did i help? i m ready to elaborate when u want dearest UmmZ :wub:
