The Ideal Wife
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنِ النَّبِي أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا اسْتَفَادَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بَعْدَ تَقْوَى اللَّهِ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ صَالِحَةِ إِنْ أَمَرَهَا أَطَاعَتْهُ، وَإِنْ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا سَرَّتْهُ، وَإِنْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَيْهَا أَبَرَّتْهُ، وَإِنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا نَصَحَتْهُ فِي نَفْسِهَا وَمَالِهِ
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) has said, “For a Mu’min after the fear of Allah Ta'ala
nothing is better for him than a pious wife.
- When he commands
her, she obeys him,
- when he looks at her, she pleases him
- when
he gives her an oath in any matter, she fulfils it,
And in his
absence she protects herself (chastity) and her husband’s wealth.
(And uses from there thriftily and does not breach a trust.”) (Ibn Maja)
