Obeying the Husband is Equal to Jihaad There are many Shareeah texts indicating the greatness of the husbands right over his wife. In a Hadeeth on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbaas may Allaah be pleased with him it was mentioned that a woman came to the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, I am a delegate [from a group of] women and there are none of them, whether she knows or does not know that I would come to you, except she would want me to come to you. Allaah The Almighty is the Lord of both men and women and their God, and you are the Messenger of Allaah, for both men and women. Allaah has prescribed Jihaad for men only; if they are victorious, their reward is great, and if they die as martyrs, they are alive with their Lord, receiving sustenance. [For women], which act of obedience is equal in reward to this?” The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), replied: “Obeying their husbands and (being aware of and) fulfilling their rights; and few of you do that.”[At-Tabaraani and ‘Abdul-Raaziq] Here, the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ), equated the reward of making Jihaad to that of the wife obeying her husband.
