Chapter: The Right of the Husband Over the Wife
Hadith 7101
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَصُومُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَبَعْلُهَا شَاهِدٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَلَا تَأْذَنُ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ شَاهِدٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَمَا أَنْفَقَتْ مِنْ كَسْبِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَمْرِهِ فَإِنَّ نِصْفَ أَجْرِهِ لَهُ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the husband is present, his wife should not observe a voluntary fast without his permission, and in the presence of the husband, she should not allow anyone to enter the house without his permission. And whatever a woman spends from her husband's earnings without his order, she will receive half the reward for it.
Hadith 7102
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَعَا الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَأَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَبَاتَ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ وَفِي لَفْظٍ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ لَعَنَتْهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When a man calls his wife to bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, then the angels curse such a woman until morning.
Hadith 7103
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا بَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ هَاجِرَةً فِرَاشَ زَوْجِهَا بَاتَتْ تَلْعَنُهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ
(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When a woman spends the night while having left her husband's bed, the angels continue to curse her until she returns to his bed.
Hadith 7104
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ فَجَاءَ بَعِيرٌ فَسَجَدَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَسْجُدُ لَكَ الْبَهَائِمُ وَالشَّجَرُ فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ فَقَالَ اعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَأَكْرِمُوا أَخَاكُمْ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ آمُرُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَوْ أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَنْقُلَ مِنْ جَبَلٍ أَصْفَرَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَسْوَدَ وَمِنْ جَبَلٍ أَسْوَدَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَبْيَضَ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting among a group of Muhajirin and Ansar, when a camel came and prostrated before him. Seeing this scene, the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah! If animals and trees prostrate to you, then we are more deserving to prostrate to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Worship your Lord and honor your brother, meaning your Prophet. If I were to command any human to prostrate before another human, I would command the wife to prostrate to her husband. The husband's right over the wife is such that if he orders her to transfer stones from the yellow mountain to the black mountain and from the black mountain to the white mountain, then it would be appropriate for her to do so.
Hadith 7105
عَنْ أَبِي ظِبْيَانَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ رِجَالًا بِالْيَمَنِ يَسْجُدُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَفَلَا نَسْجُدُ لَكَ قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ آمُرُ بَشَرًا يَسْجُدُ لِبَشَرٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When I returned from Yemen, I said: O Messenger of Allah! I saw in Yemen that people prostrate to one another, so should we not prostrate to you as well? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I were to permit a human to prostrate to another human, I would have ordered the wife to prostrate to her husband.
Hadith 7106
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ وَلَوْ صَلَحَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا مِنْ عِظَمِ حَقِّهِ عَلَيْهَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ قَدَمِهِ إِلَى مَفْرَقِ رَأْسِهِ قُرْحَةً تَنْبَجِسُ بِالْقَيْحِ وَالصَّدِيدِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ فَلَحَسَتْهُ مَا أَدَّتْ حَقَّهُ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permitted for any human being to prostrate to another human being. If it were appropriate for a human to prostrate to another human, I would have commanded a woman to prostrate to her husband, because of the great right he has over her. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! If the husband were to have a sore from his feet to the parting of his hair, and pus and blood were to flow from it, and his wife were to come and lick it, even then she would not have fulfilled his right.
Hadith 7107
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.
Hadith 7108
عَنْ عَائِذِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ مُعَاذًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ فَلَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَوْلَانَ مَعَهَا بَنُونَ لَهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ فَتَرَكَتْ أَبَاهُمْ فِي بَيْتِهَا أَصْغَرُهُمُ الَّذِي قَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ لِحْيَتُهُ فَقَامَتْ فَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَى مُعَاذٍ وَرَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِيهَا يُمْسِكَانِ بِضَبْعَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَرْسَلَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفَلَا تُخْبِرُنِي يَا رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ سَلِينِي عَمَّا شِئْتِ قَالَتْ حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَتْ وَتَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ قَالَتْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِاللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ لَتُحَدِّثَنِّي مَا حَقُّ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ أَوَمَا رَضِيتِ أَنْ تَسْمَعِي وَتُطِيعِي وَتَتَّقِي اللَّهَ قَالَتْ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ فَإِنِّي تَرَكْتُ أَبَا هَؤُلَاءِ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُعَاذٍ بِيَدَيْهِ لَوْ أَنَّكِ تَرْجِعِينَ إِذَا رَجَعْتِ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتِ الْجُذَامَ قَدْ خَرَقَ لَحْمَهُ وَخَرَقَ مَنْخِرَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتِ مَنْخِرَيْهِ يَسِيلَانِ قَيْحًا وَدَمًا ثُمَّ أَلْقَمْتِيهِمَا فَاكِ لَكَيْ مَا تَبْلُغِي حَقَّهُ مَا بَلَغْتِ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا
It is narrated from ‘Aidh bin ‘Abdullah that Sayyiduna Mu‘adh (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Yemen. He met a woman from the Khaulān tribe, and with her were her twelve sons. She had left their father at home. The youngest of her sons was fully bearded. She stood up, and two of her sons were supporting her. She greeted Sayyiduna Mu‘adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: “O man! Who sent you here?” Sayyiduna Mu‘adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me here.” She said: “Did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) really send you? Well, if you are the messenger of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), why don’t you tell me something?” Sayyiduna Mu‘adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Ask whatever you need.” She said: “Tell me, what is a man’s right over his wife?” He told her: “Fear Allah as much as you are able, listen and obey.” She said: “I ask you by Allah, tell me, what is a man’s right over his wife?” He said: “Are you not satisfied that you listen to your husband, obey him, and fear Allah?” She said: “Yes, I am certainly satisfied, but still, tell me, what is a man’s right over his wife? Because I have left their father at home, and he has become very old.” Sayyiduna Mu‘adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “By Him in Whose Hands is the soul of Mu‘adh! Suppose when you return to him, you find him in such a state that leprosy has eaten away his flesh, and both his nostrils have burst, and pus and blood are flowing from his nostrils, and you put both his nostrils in your mouth so that you may fulfill his right, even then you would not have fulfilled his right.”
Hadith 7109
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّتِ الْمَرْأَةُ خَمْسَهَا وَصَامَتْ شَهْرَهَا وَحَفِظَتْ فَرْجَهَا وَأَطَاعَتْ زَوْجَهَا قِيلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِي الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شِئْتِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a woman offers her five prayers, fasts in the month of Ramadan, guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, it will be said to her: Enter Paradise through whichever door you wish.
Hadith 7110
عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تُؤْذِي امْرَأَةٌ زَوْجَهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا قَالَتْ زَوْجَتُهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ لَا تُؤْذِيهِ قَاتَلَكِ اللَّهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عِنْدَكِ دَخِيلٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُفَارِقَكِ إِلَيْنَا
Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a worldly woman causes distress to her husband, then one of his wives from among the fair, red-complexioned, large-eyed women of Paradise addresses her, saying: May Allah destroy you, he is only a guest with you for a few days, soon he will leave you and come to us.
Hadith 7111
عَنِ الْحُصَيْنِ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ عَمَّةً لَهُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَفَرَغَتْ مِنْ حَاجَتِهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَذَاتُ زَوْجٍ أَنْتِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَيْفَ أَنْتِ لَهُ قَالَتْ مَا آلُوهُ إِلَّا مَا عَجَزْتُ عَنْهُ قَالَ انْظُرِي أَيْنَ أَنْتِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ جَنَّتُكِ وَنَارُكِ
Sayyiduna Husayn bin Muhsan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that his paternal aunt came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for some need, and when she finished her work, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Are you married?" She replied: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How are you towards your husband?" She said: "I do not fall short in serving him, except in matters that are beyond my ability." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then consider carefully how you are with him, for he is your Paradise and he is your Hell."
Hadith 7112
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ نَزَعَتْ ثِيَابَهَا فِي غَيْرِ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا هَتَكَتْ سِتْرَ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ رَبِّهَا
Narrated by Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Any woman who removes her clothes anywhere other than her husband's house has torn the veil between herself and her Lord.
Hadith 7113
عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ إِحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ مَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ فِي نِسْوَةٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَقَالَ إِيَّاكُنَّ وَكُفْرَ الْمُنَعَّمِينَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا كُفْرُ الْمُنَعَّمِينَ قَالَ لَعَلَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ أَنْ تَطُولَ أَيْمَتُهَا بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْهَا وَتَعْنُسَ فَيَرْزُقَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ زَوْجَهَا وَيَرْزُقَهَا مِنْهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَتَغْضَبُ الْغَضْبَةَ فَتَقُولَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ يَوْمًا خَيْرًا قَطُّ وَفِي لَفْظٍ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ خَيْرًا قَطُّ
Sayyida Asma bint Yazid Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us while we were some women sitting together. He (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted us with salam and then said: Refrain from being ungrateful like the prosperous people. We asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the ingratitude of the prosperous people? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It may be that you spend a long time with your parents living unmarried, then Allah Almighty grants you a husband and, through him, blesses you with children, but one day in anger you say (to your husband): I have never seen any good or benefit from you.
Hadith 7114
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لَا يَجُوزُ لِمَرْأَةٍ عَطِيَّةٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said on the day of the conquest of Makkah: It is not permissible for any woman to give a gift without her husband's permission.
Hadith 7115
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَمْرٌ فِي مَالِهَا إِذَا مَلَكَ زَوْجُهَا عِصْمَتَهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: When the husband becomes the owner of a woman's chastity, then it is not permissible for the woman to dispose of her wealth without his permission.
Hadith 7116
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ الْمُعَطَّلِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ زَوْجِي صَفْوَانَ بْنَ الْمُعَطَّلِ يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ وَيُفَطِّرُنِي إِذَا صُمْتُ وَلَا يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ وَصَفْوَانُ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَمَّا قَالَتْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ فَإِنَّهَا تَقْرَأُ بِسُورَتَيْنِ فَقَدْ نَهَيْتُهَا عَنْهُمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَتْ سُورَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لَكَفَتِ النَّاسَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يُفَطِّرُنِي فَإِنَّهَا تَصُومُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ فَلَا أَصْبِرُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا تَصُومَنَّ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا قَالَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا بِأَنِّي لَا أُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ قَدْ عُرِفَ لَنَا ذَاكَ لَا نَكَادُ نَسْتَيْقِظُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظْتَ فَصَلِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا إِنِّي لَا أُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنِّي ثَقِيلُ الرَّأْسِ وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يُعْرَفُونَ بِذَاكَ بِثِقَلِ الرُّؤُوسِ قَالَ فَإِذَا قُمْتَ فَصَلِّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the wife of Sayyiduna Safwan bin Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! The situation with my husband, Sayyiduna Safwan bin Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him), is that when I pray, he beats me; when I fast, he makes me break my fast; and he performs the Fajr prayer after sunrise. At that time, Sayyiduna Safwan was also present there. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him about his wife's complaints, he said: O Messenger of Allah! As for her saying that I beat her when she prays, the matter is that she recites two long surahs, whereas I have forbidden her from that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if one surah is recited, it is sufficient for the people. She then said: As for her saying that I make her break her fast when she is fasting, the reason is that I am a young man and I cannot control myself. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that day: No woman should ever observe (optional) fast without her husband's permission. And as for her saying that I perform the Fajr prayer after sunrise, the explanation is that we are people of this tribe who cannot wake up before the sun rises. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whenever you wake up, perform the prayer at that time. In another narration: Sayyiduna Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, my head remains heavy, and our whole family is such that it is well known about us that our heads remain heavy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whenever you wake up, perform the prayer at that time.
