عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ خُوَيْلَةُ بِنْتُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ الْأَوْقَصِ السُّلَمِيَّةُ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ قَالَتْ فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَذَاذَةَ هَيْئَتِهَا فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا أَبَذَّ هَيْئَةَ خُوَيْلَةَ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ امْرَأَةٌ لَا زَوْجَ لَهَا يَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَيَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ فَهِيَ كَمَنْ لَا زَوْجَ لَهَا فَتَرَكَتْ نَفْسَهَا وَأَضَاعَتْهَا قَالَتْ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا عُثْمَانُ أَرَغْبَةٌ عَنْ سُنَّتِي قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ سُنَّتَكَ أَطْلُبُ وَقَالَ فَإِنِّي أَنَامُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ وَأُنْكِحُ النِّسَاءَ فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا عُثْمَانُ فَإِنَّ لِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِضَيْفِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَصَلِّ وَنَمْ
Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: Sayyida Khawla bint Hakim (may Allah be pleased with her) came to me; she was the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him). When the Messenger of Allah saw her disheveled state, he said to me: "Aisha! Khawla's condition is very untidy." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Just consider that this woman has no husband, because he fasts during the day and stands in prayer at night. Therefore, Khawla is like a woman whose husband is not present, so she has not paid any attention to herself and has neglected herself." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), so he came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Uthman! Are you turning away from my Sunnah?" He said: "By Allah, no, O Messenger of Allah! I am indeed seeking your Sunnah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If that is so, then I sleep and I pray, I fast and I break my fast, and I have married women. O Uthman! Fear Allah, your wife has a right over you, your guest has a right over you, and your own self has a right over you. Therefore, fast sometimes and leave it sometimes, pray and also sleep."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … “Your wife has a right over you” means that one should allocate proper time for one’s wife and, understanding the needs of her body and life, fulfill them accordingly.
The command of Allah, the Exalted, is: { وَعَاشِرُوْہُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ} (Surah An-Nisa: 19) … “And live with your wives in kindness.”
A woman is in greatest need of her husband’s good character; this has been greatly emphasized in various ahadith. In addition, the husband is responsible for the expenses of the woman’s food and drink, clothing, and residence.
Islam is the only religion that has taught the best treatment towards one’s wife; the reason for this is absolutely clear: after marriage, and especially after having children, a woman’s only support is her husband. In fact, it should be said that after marriage, she no longer fits in her parents’, brothers’, or other relatives’ homes. Therefore, husbands should be mindful of their life partner’s helplessness and, considering service to her as a mark of human dignity, seek reward from Allah, the Exalted.
