The world is but an enjoyment and the best of worldly enjoyments is a righteous woman Life in this world is sweet and green, and indeed, Allah has made you successors there to see how you will behave. So, be cautious of this world and be cautious of women Let not a believing man hate a believing woman. If he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another Beware of entering upon women." A man from the Ansār said: O Messenger of Allah, what about the Hamw (brother-in-law)? He said: "The Hamw is death O womenfolk, give charity, for indeed, I was shown that you form the majority of the dwellers of Hellfire." They said: Why is that, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "You curse frequently, and you are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone deficient in intellect and religion more able to lead and subdue the mind of a stern man than one of you No woman should travel on a two-day-distant journey except with her husband or a Mahram Tasbīh is for the men, and clapping is for the women If a man invites his wife to his bed and she refuses, and so he spends the night angry with her, the angels will curse her until the morning Let no man stay the night in the place of a previously married woman unless he is her husband or her Mahram I advise you to treat women kindly, for the woman was created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its uppermost part. If you try to straighten it, you will break it; and if you leave it, it will remain crooked. So, treat women kindly. Some of you would whip your wives as if they were slaves and then have intercourse with them at the end of the day If you wish, be patient and you will enter Paradise, or, if you wish, I will supplicate to Allah to cure you If your wife asks your permission to go to the mosque, do not prevent her O Allah, I declare strictly inviolable the rights of the two weak ones: the orphan and the woman May Allah have mercy upon a man who wakes up at night and prays, and awakens his wife. If she refuses, he sprinkles water on her face. May Allah have mercy upon a woman who wakes up at night and prays, and awakens her husband. If he refuses, she sprinkles water on his face The liar is not the one who seeks reconciliation between people, conveying good, or saying good things What did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to do at his home? She said: He used to be at the service of his family. But when the time for prayer came, he would go out to the prayer The one who boasts of receiving what he has not been given is like the one who has put on two garments of falsehood No woman among you loses three of her children to death except that they will screen her from Hellfire Whenever the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) intended to go on a journey, he would cast lots among his wives and would take the one on whom the lot fell The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the effeminate men and the masculine women. He said: Turn them out of your houses The narration about Barīrah and her husband One of the sons of Abu Talha was ailing. Abu Talha went out and the boy died in his absence By the One in Whose hand my soul is, whenever the devil sees you walking on a path, he follows a path other than yours A man came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: My wife does not object if anyone touches her. He said: Divorce her. The man said: I am afraid that I will miss her. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then enjoy her Ibn ‘Umar reported that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb wrote to the army commanders about men who stayed for a long time away from their wives. He ordered the [commanders] to charge them to either spend (on their wives) or divorce. If they divorce, they should send the financial support they had withheld You are more entitled to him as long as you do not get married
