Chapter: The Right of the Wife Over the Husband
Hadith 7117
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نِسَاؤُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا وَمَا نَذَرُ قَالَ حَرْثُكَ ائْتِ حَرْثَكَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ غَيْرَ أَنْ لَا تَضْرِبِ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَطْعِمْ إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَاكْسُ إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ كَيْفَ وَقَدْ أَفْضَى بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ إِلَّا بِمَا حَلَّ عَلَيْهَا
Bahz bin Hakim narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that he said: O Messenger of Allah! These are our wives, what dealings with them are permissible for us and what are not permissible? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are your fields, so come to your field as you wish, but do not strike her on the face, nor speak to her with hateful words. (If angry) only leave her in the house. When you eat, feed her as well, and when you dress, clothe her as well. Now how will you not fulfill these rights, while you have already had intercourse with each other, except if a situation arises in which the wife may be punished (or her rights may be reduced).
Hadith 7118
عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى الزَّوْجِ قَالَ تُطْعِمُهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَتَكْسُوهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ وَلَا تَضْرِبِ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Haydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what right does a wife have over her husband? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: When you eat, feed her as well; when you clothe yourself, clothe her as well; do not strike her on the face; do not speak to her in a repulsive manner; and (in case of displeasure) do not leave her except within your own house.
Hadith 7119
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَ فِيهِنَّ وَقَالَ عَلَامَ يَضْرِبُ وَفِي لَفْظٍ يَجْلِدُ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَتَهُ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ ضَرْبَ الْعَبْدِ وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُضَاجِعَهَا مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ أَوْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zam’ah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advising men regarding the rights of women. In the midst of this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why does one of you beat his wife as he beats a slave, then perhaps at the end of the day or the end of the night he will have to be intimate with her.
Hadith 7120
عَنْ لَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبِرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي امْرَأَةً فَذَكَرَ مِنْ طُولِ لِسَانِهَا وَإِيذَائِهَا فَقَالَ طَلِّقْهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا ذَاتُ صُحْبَةٍ وَوَلَدٍ قَالَ فَأَمْسِكْهَا وَأْمُرْهَا فَإِنْ يَكُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ فَسَتَفْعَلْ وَلَا تَضْرِبْ ظَعِينَتَكَ ضَرْبَكَ أَمَتَكَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Laqit bin Sabirah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have a wife who is very sharp-tongued and causes me distress." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Divorce her." He said, "I have a long companionship with her and I have children from her." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then keep her and continue to advise her towards goodness. If she has the ability to accept goodness, she will accept it. In any case, you should not beat your wife as a slave-girl is beaten."
Hadith 7121
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَفْرَكُ مُؤْمِنٌ مُؤْمِنَةً إِنْ كَرِهَ مِنْهَا خُلُقًا رَضِيَ مِنْهَا آخَرَ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No believing husband should harbor hatred or enmity towards his believing wife, because if he dislikes one habit of his wife, he will be pleased and satisfied with another quality of hers.
Hadith 7122
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحَرِّجُ حَقَّ الضَّعِيفَيْنِ الْيَتِيمِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I declare the rights of two weak ones, namely women and orphans, to be forbidden and prohibited (from being violated).
Hadith 7123
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ يَطْرُقَ الرَّجُلُ أَهْلَهُ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a traveler from coming to his family after the ‘Isha prayer.
Hadith 7124
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."
