ADVICES TO HUSBANDS
Jabir
Narrated that
the Prophet, peace be upon him, gave these instructions in his sermon
during Farewell Pilgrimage: "Fear God regarding women; for you have
taken them [in marriage] with the trust of God." [Mishkat]
Narrated
Aisha,
God's messenger said: "Among the believers who show most perfect
faith are those who have the best disposition, and are kindest to their
families." [Tirmidhi]
Narrated
Abu Huraira,
God's messenger said: "The believers who show the most perfect faith
are those who have the best disposition and the best of you are those
who are best to their wives." [Tirmidhi]
Narrated
Aisha
that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, would enter the house with a
pleasing disposition and a smile on his lips. [Uswa-i-Hasana]
Narrated
Al-Aswad:
"I asked Aisha, `What did the Prophet, peace be upon him, do at home?'
She said, `He used to work for his family and when he heard the call for
the prayer, he would go out.'" [Bukhari]
Narrated
Abu Huraira:
"Allah's Apostle, peace be upon him, said, `The woman is like a rib;
if you try to straighten her, she will break. So if you want to get benefit
from her, do so while she still has some bent.'" [Bukhari]
Narrated
Abu Huraira:
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, `Whoever believes in Allah
and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor. And I advise
you to take care of women, for they are created from a rib and the most
crooked portion of the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten
it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will reamin crooked, so I urge
you to take care of women. [Bukhari]
Narrated
Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As:
"Allah's Apostle, peace be upon him, said, `O Abdullah! Have I not
been informed that you fast all the day and stand in prayer all night?'
I said, `Yes, O Allah's Apostle!' He said, `Do not do that! Observe the
fast sometimes and also leave them at other times; stand up for the prayer
at night and also sleep at night. Your body has a right over you and your
wife has a right over you.'" [Bukhari]
Narrated
Ibn Umar:
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, `All of you are guardians
and are responsible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian and the man
is a guardian of his family; the lady is a guardian who is responsible
for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians
and are responsible for your wards.'"
Men
should forbear any shortcomings of women in view of the following verse
of Quran:
Live
with them in kindness; even if you dislike them, perhaps you dislike something
in which God has place much good. Qur'an [4 : 19]
