The Reward of Doing Good to Women
عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: الدنيا متاع، وخير متاع الدنيا المرأة الصالحة
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin As رضي الله عنهما that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “The world is an adornment, and the best adornment of the world is a righteous woman.”
عن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: أكمل المؤمنين إيمانا أحسنهم خلقا، وخياركم خياركم لنسائهم خلقا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “The most perfect believer among you is the one who has the best character. And the best of you are those who are best to their women.”
Sayyida Aisha Siddiqah رضي الله عنها says that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said:
خيركم خيركم لأهله، وأنا خيركم لأهلي، وإذا مات صاحبكم فدعوه
“The best among you is the one who is best to his family, and I am the best among you to my family. And when one of your companions passes away, leave him (meaning do not mention his faults).”
Sayyiduna Saad bin Abi Waqqas رضي الله عنه says that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said:
إنك لن تنفق نفقة تبتغي بها وجه الله إلا أجرت عليها حتى ما تجعل فى فم إمرأتك .
“Indeed, whoever spends for the sake of Allah’s pleasure, you will receive the reward for it, even for the morsel you put into your wife’s mouth (you will receive its reward).”
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud al-Badri رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said:
إذا أنفق الرجل على أهله يحتسبها فهو له صدقة .
“When a person spends on his wife with the intention of reward, it is charity for him.”
