The righteous woman and others

Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three things are part of a person's happiness, and three things are part of a person's misery. Part of a person's happiness are a righteous wife, a good home and a good mount; and part of a person's misery are a bad wife, a bad home and a bad mount."
Ahmad, al-Bazzar, and at-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it; the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three things break the back: a bad wife whose husband trusts her while she betrays him; a ruler who angers Allah Almighty and pleases the people; the deeds of a believing woman are like those of seventy truthful ones (siddiqs), and the deeds of an immoral woman are like the immorality of a thousand immoral women."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; he said: One of them escaped me. I say: It has come before me: (in it are these words:) "and a bad neighbour who, if he sees any good, buries it, and if he sees any evil, spreads it." Its chain contains Sa'id bin Sinan, who is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever Allah Almighty has blessed with a righteous wife, Allah Almighty has helped him with half of his religion, so let him fear Allah Almighty regarding the other half."
At-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; it is mentioned in its chain that it is narrated by Abd al-Rahman from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and Zuhayr bin Muhammad
narrated it from him. I do not know him, unless he is Abd al-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam, in which case the chain of this narration is munqati' (broken); and if he is someone else, then I do not know him. And Allah knows best.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After Islam, a servant has gained nothing better for himself than a believing wife: when he looks at her she pleases him, and when he is away from her she guards herself and her husband's wealth for him."
At-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Jabir al-Ju'fi, who is da'if (weak), though he has also been declared trustworthy; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The bitterest regrets of the children of Adam concern three things. One is a man who has land that is irrigated, and he has a camel on which he draws water to irrigate his land; when his land is in severe need of water and is about to bring forth its fruit, his camel dies. He feels regret over his camel, knowing that he will not find another like it, and he also feels regret over the fruit of his land, that it will spoil before he can find some other means. Another is a man who rides a fine horse and meets the disbelievers; when the two sides close in on each other and the enemy of Allah is routed, the man rides ahead on his horse, until, just as he is about to reach the enemy, his horse's leg breaks. He dismounts, and at that moment he feels regret that he will not find another horse like it, and he also feels regret over the victory he was about to win and has missed, which had been within his reach. And another is a man who has a wife whose appearance and religion both please him; she gives birth to a child and then dies during her postnatal bleeding (nifas). That man feels regret over his wife, thinking he will not find another wife like her, and he also feels regret over his child, fearing the child will perish before he finds someone to nurse it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the greatest of these regrets."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and at-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain is hasan (good); there is no (weak) narrator in it other than Sa'id bin Bashir, and a group of scholars declared him trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Four things: whoever is given them has been given the good of this world and the Hereafter: a grateful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah, a body patient in trial, and a wife who does not seek to betray him with regard to herself or his wealth."
At-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; the narrators of al-Mu'jam al-Awsat are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Mu'adh! A grateful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah, and a righteous wife who helps you in the affairs of your world and your religion: these are the best of what people acquire."
At-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Ali bin Yazid, who is da'if (weak), though he has also been declared trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of women is she who pleases you when you look at her, obeys you when you command her, and guards herself and your wealth in your absence."
At-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Zurayk bin Abi Zurayk, whom I do not know; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The likeness of a righteous woman among women is that of the a'sam crow." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! Which is the a'sam crow? He said: "The one with one of its two legs white."
At-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Mutarrih bin Yazid, and there is agreement that he is da'if (weak).

Umarah bin Khuzaymah bin Amr narrates: We were with Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) on a Hajj or an Umrah. When we reached Marr al-Zahran, there was a woman in her howdah who had placed her hand on the howdah. When he was going down, he entered a mountain pass, and we entered it with him. He told us: Once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at this place, and there were many crows here, and among them was a crow whose beak and legs were a'sam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No more women will enter Paradise than the proportion of this crow among these crows." Abu Umar said: A'sam means red.
At-Tabarani recorded it, and this wording is his; Ahmad also recorded it, and the narrators of Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The likeness of a believing woman is that of a piebald crow among black crows: she has no equal and none like her. And the likeness of a bad woman is that of a house whose outside is adorned while its inside is in ruins, and that of a canopy that will have no light on the Day of Resurrection. I fear that a woman who rises from her husband's bed, keeping away from him, will be counted as disobedient to Allah and His Messenger."
At-Tabarani recorded it; the narrator Ishaq bin Yahya did not meet Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abza (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Dawud (peace be upon him) said: "Be to the orphan like a merciful father, and know that as you sow, so shall you reap. The likeness of a righteous woman to her husband is that of a king wearing a crown adorned with gold: whenever he sees her, his eyes are cooled by her. And the likeness of a bad woman to her husband is that of a heavy load placed upon an old man." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) Then he mentioned the whole hadith; it will come in full in the chapter on admonitions (Mawa'iz).
At-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
