Note 1
(1) His statement: Do not break the glass vessels, referring to women due to their fragility, grace, and delicate constitution. He instructed him to lower his beautiful voice lest it affect their hearts, given their weak resolve and susceptibility, like the fragility of glass. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله : لا تكسر القوارير وهي الزجاجة، كنى بها عن النساء؛ لما فيهن من الرقة واللطافة وضعف البنية، أمره يغض من صوته الحسن خشية أن يقع من قلوبهن موقعا؛ لضعف عزائمهن وسرعة تأثرهن كسرعة الكسر إلى القوارير. كذا في «المرقاة».
