Hakîm bin Mu‘âwiyah narrates from his father that he said: “O Messenger of God! What rights do our wives have over us?” He replied: “When you eat, you must also feed them. When you clothe yourself, you should also clothe them. Do not strike them on their faces. If you have any quarrel with her, it should be left in the house.” In other words, if you have any quarrel with her, this quarrel should not go out of the house (or should not be mentioned to anyone).

“The woman whose husband is not at home, and she safeguards her honour, abandons beautifying herself, remains at home, abandons everything that is considered to be a form of beautification and offers salât with steadfastness will rise on the day of judgement as a virgin. If her husband was a true believer, she will be his wife in Paradise. If he was not a true believer, e.g. if he passed away without îmân, Allah will perform her nikâh with a martyr.” – Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

“The person who has been blessed with four things has in fact been blessed with the treasures of this world and the hereafter. They are: a grateful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah, a body that exercises patience at the time of calamities and difficulties, a woman who does not cause any taint or blemish with regard to her honour and her husband’s wealth.” – Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

Lesson: In other words, she should not lose her honour nor should she spend her husband’s wealth without obtaining his pleasure.

“O women! Remember that the pious among you will enter Paradise before the pious men. (Later when their husbands will enter Paradise) they (the pious women) will be given a bath, perfumed and then handed over to their husbands on red and yellow conveyances. They will have children with them who will be like scattered pearls.” – Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

Lesson: O women! What greater virtue do you wish to have? You have already reached Paradise before the men. Obviously, the prerequisite is that you should become pious and this is not difficult.

“The best woman is the one whom when her husband looks at her he is pleased with her, when he orders her to do something she obeys him, and she does not displease him by doing anything contrary regarding his wealth and honour.” – Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

“The best woman among you is the one who is untainted with regard to her honour and chastity, and who loves her husband.” – Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

“When a woman breast-feeds her child, the reward that she receives for every sip is as if she has given life to a dead person. When she commences breast-feeding, an angel taps her on her back (a form of congratulation) and says to her: ‘All your past sins are forgiven. Now whatever you do will be recorded from the very beginning.’” That is, the sins that you may commit will be written for the future. Minor sins are referred to in this context. However, having one’s minor sins forgiven is no small feat. – Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

The Best Characteristics of Women

We felt it would be suitable to quote Ahâdîth which mention the characteristics of pious women, their praiseworthy mannerisms, and their status. When women read these and realize that Allah and His Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) has specifically mentioned them, their hearts will be filled with joy and they will have a greater desire for good deeds and good characteristics, and even difficult matters will become easy for them.

“The best possession is a pious wife: when the husband looks at her he is pleased with her, when he orders her to do something she obeys, when the husband goes out, she protects her honour and chastity and remains in her home.” — Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

“Allah loves the woman who has love and affection for her husband and safeguards herself from other men.” — Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

“Women are also parts of men.” — Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

“By doing your wife’s work you will receive the reward of charity.” — Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)

Lesson: Look at how the Shariah has shown you the ways of providing comfort to women. It has promised to reward you in such a way that every Muslim will provide comfort to his wife in the hope for this reward.
