The Rights of Husband on His Wife

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا حَقُّ الزَّوْجِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَنْ تُطِيعَهُ وَ لَا تَعْصِيَهُ وَ لَا تَصَدَّقَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَ لَا تَصُومَ تَطَوُّعاً إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَ لَا تَمْنَعَهُ نَفْسَهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ‌[1] وَ لَا تَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَ إِنْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ لَعَنَتْ

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that once a woman came to the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and asked, ‘What is the right of husband on a woman?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said to her, ‘She must yield to and obey him and must not oppose and d

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ بَاتَتْ وَ زَوْجُهَا عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ فِي حَقٍّ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ مِنْهَا صَلَاةٌ حَتَّى يَرْضَى عَنْهَا وَ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ تَطَيَّبَتْ لِغَيْرِ زَوْجِهَا لَمْ تُقْبَلْ مِنْهَا صَلَاةٌ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ مِنْ طِيبِهَا كَغُسْلِهَا مِنْ جَنَابَتِهَا.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman passes a night and her husband is angry with her because of a right to which she does not yield, her Salat (prayer) is not accepted until he becomes happy with her. If a woman wears perfume for other than her husband, her Salat (prayer) is not accepted until she washes them

ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُرْفَعُ لَهُمْ عَمَلٌ عَبْدٌ آبِقٌ وَ امْرَأَةٌ زَوْجُهَا عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ وَ الْمُسْبِلُ إِزَارَهُ خُيَلَاءَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The good deeds of three kinds of people cannot rise up. One is a runaway slave, a woman whose husband is not happy with her and one who drags his gown on the ground out of pride.’”

جِهَادُ الْمَرْأَةِ حُسْنُ التَّبَعُّلِ‌[3].

“Abu Ibrahim (a.s.), has said, ‘Jihad (struggle for the cause of Allah) of a woman is her living a proper spousal life.’”

ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تُقْبَلُ لَهُمْ صَلَاةٌ عَبْدٌ آبِقٌ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِ حَتَّى يَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ امْرَأَةٌ بَاتَتْ وَ زَوْجُهَا عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ وَ رَجُلٌ أَمَّ قَوْماً وَ هُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Salat (prayer) of three kinds of people is not accepted. One is a runaway slave from his masters until he places his hand in their hands, a woman who passes the night when her husband is angry with her and a man who leads a people in Salat (prayer) and they dislike him.’”

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَوْ أَمَرْتُ أَحَداً أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا.

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once a people came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, we saw a people who prostrate for each other.’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muham
