Anas reports that the Prophet was on a journey and a slave named Anjasha was chanting so that the camels be driven fast. The Prophet said, O Anjasha, Drive slowly with the glass vessels. Abu Qilaba said, By glass vessels the Prophet means women.
-Sunnah of Sahīh al-Bukhāri, Book 78:6210
In the minds of the drovers, were the Prophet’s vessels the saddle-soft Khawajas or the brittle glass from which they drank tea? We never cracked but their tea glasses one by one broke, so by the middle of the Darb all the drovers were drinking from our own dull tin cups.
