Hadith 20045

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَيْدَةَ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نِسَاؤُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهُنَّ وَمَا نَذَرُ ؟ قَالَ : " حَرْثُكَ ، ائْتِ حَرْثَكَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ فِي أَنْ لَا تَضْرِبَ الْوَجْهَ ، وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ ، وَأَطْعِمْ إِذَا أُطْعِمْتَ ، وَاكْسُ إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ ، وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ ، كَيْفَ وَقَدْ أَفْضَى بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ ، إِلَّا بِمَا حَلَّ عَلَيْهِنَّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Muawiyah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him) that I submitted in the court of the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah! In which part of our women may we approach them and which part should we leave?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your wife is your field; come to your field from wherever you wish. However, when you eat, feed her as well; when you wear clothes, clothe her as well. Do not strike her on the face, do not abuse her, and if you sever relations, do so only within the house. How is it appropriate when you approach each other in a lawful manner?"
