اُردوEn
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَدِمَ مُعَاذٌ الْيَمَنَ أَوْ قَالَ الشَّامَ فَرَأَى النَّصَارَى تَسْجُدُ لِبَطَارِقَتِهَا وَأَسَاقِفَتِهَا فَرَوَّى أَيْ فَكَّرَ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُعَظَّمَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ النَّصَارَى تَسْجُدُ لِبَطَارِقَتِهَا وَأَسَاقِفَتِهَا فَرَوَّيْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّكَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُعَظَّمَ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ آمُرُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَا تُؤَدِّي الْمَرْأَةُ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا عَلَيْهَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى لَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا وَهِيَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ لَأَعْطَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Yemen or Syria and saw that the Christians prostrate to their leaders and priests. He thought in his heart that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is more deserving of such respect. Then when he returned, he said: O Messenger of Allah! I saw the Christians prostrating to their priests and leaders, and it occurred to me in my heart that you are more deserving of this respect. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allah Almighty, I would have commanded a woman to prostrate to her husband. A wife cannot fulfill the rights of Allah Almighty until she fulfills the rights of her husband as they ought to be fulfilled. If the husband calls his wife for marital relations and she is sitting on a saddle (of a riding animal), she must respond to her husband's request.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The intent of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that the wife should be mindful of obeying her husband in all circumstances. This is a point of reflection for the ungrateful women of the present era, whose gaze falls only and exclusively upon the negative aspects of their husbands.
