THE RIGHTEOUS WIFE ; A woman came to ask the Prophet (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam) about some matter, and when he had dealt with it, He asked her, “Do you have a husband?” She said, “Yes.” He asked her, “How are you with him?” She said, “I never fall short in my duties, except for that which is beyond me.” He said: “Pay attention to how you treat him, for he is your Paradise and your Hell.” [Ahmad and Al-Nisa’i with jayyid isnads, and by Al-Hakim, who said that its isnad was sahih. See Al-Mundhiri, Al-Targhib wa’l-Tarhib, 3/52, Kitab Al-Nikah] From Husayn ibn Mihsan who said that my paternal aunt said: “I came to Allah’s Messenger (Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam) for some need, so he asked, ‘You there! Are you married?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’ He then asked, ‘How are you towards your husband?’ She responded, ‘I do not fall short in his service except with regard to what I am unable to do.’ He said, ‘then looks to your standing with him, for indeed he is your Paradise and your Fire.’” [Sahih, reported by al-Haadim and others] Abu Hurairah (RA), narrates the Messenger of Allah (SAW) was asked: “Which of the women is the best?” He replied, “The one who gives him (the husband) pleasure when he looks (at her outer beauty, or the inner beauty of her good character and how she devotes herself to obedience to Allah and taqwa); obeys him when he orders; and does not go against his wishes with regard to herself or her wealth by doing that which he dislikes.” [Sahih Muslim, reported by an-Nasaa’ee, al-Haakim and Ahmad] The Messenger Salla-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam said: “So find out how close you are to your Husband, for that will decide your fate whether to Paradise or to Hell.” [Ahmad]
