✦ A Grave Warning from the Prophet ﷺ​


«عن أبي هريرة، قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: ليس منا من خبَّب امرأة على زوجها، أو عبدًا على سيده.»

[Ṣaḥīḥ: Reported by Abū Dāwūd 2175; Aḥmad 9157; Ibn Ḥibbān 5560, 568; al-Ḥākim 2/196]
Narrated by Abū Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه):
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“He is not one of us who incites a woman against her husband, or a slave against his master.”

✦ Lessons and Warnings​


Instigating rebellion within households is a serious offense in Islam.
Such actions destroy trust, peace, and structure within family and social hierarchies.
The Prophet ﷺ declared such behavior as contradictory to the path and values of his Ummah.
True Islamic ethics require promoting harmony, not discord.
