Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 1667 — The husband's right over the wife

Imam al-Harith (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated with his chain from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a group of women and, addressing them, said: "Peace be upon you, O you who are ungrateful to your benefactors (husbands)!" Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) relates that the women (on hearing this warning) said: 'Na'udhu billahi an nakfura ni'mat Allah' (We seek refuge in Allah from being ungrateful for the blessing of Allah!) At this he (peace and blessings be upon him), explaining the ingratitude, said: "(The form your ingratitude takes is that) when one of you is angry with her husband, she says (in the heat of emotion): I have never seen any good from you in my whole life!"
In this blessed hadith, kufran al-ashir, that is, forgetting the husband's kindness, has been declared strongly disliked, as it is contrary to human morals and to the religious concept of gratitude.
