The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked one of the Companion’s wives: “Have you got a husband?” She said: “Yes.” He asked: “How do you treat him?” She replied: “I spare no pains in obeying him, except what I cannot do.” The Prophet then said: “Make sure that you obey him, because he is your Paradise or Hellfire” (Tirmidhi)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “If a woman dies while her husband was pleased with her, she will enter Paradise.” (Tirmidhi)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “If a woman prays her five prayers, fasts her month (Ramadan), guards her chastity, and obeys her husband (always) she will enter Jannah.” (Bukhari)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was asked: “Which of women is best?” He said: “The one who makes (her husband) happy when he looks at her, obeys him when he tells her to do something, and does not disobey him with regard to herself or her wealth in a way that he dislikes.” (Nasaai)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anything other than Allah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no woman will fulfil her duty towards her Lord unless she fulfils her duty towards her husband, and if he asks her for herself when she is sitting on a saddle, she should not refuse him.” (Ibn Maajah)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “It is not right for any human being to prostrate to another; if it were right for one human being to prostrate to another, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands because of the great rights that they have over them. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were covered from head to foot with weeping sores oozing pus, and his wife were to come to him and lick his sores (to clean them), this would not fulfil the rights he has over her.” (Ahmad)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “If Allah has blessed any of you with a good wife, He has helped him with half his deen, so he should fear Allah with the other half.” (Hakim)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “There are three whose prayers will not be accepted and they will not ascend to heaven or even go beyond their heads: … a woman whose husband calls her at night and she refuses.” (Targhib wal-Tarhib)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he stays angry with her all night, the angels will curse her until morning.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “Any woman who asked for a divorce for no reason, the fragrance of Paradise is forbidden to her.” (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood, Ibn Maajah)

“Whether the husband wants to discipline his wife, or forgive her, or take another wife, or divorce her, this is all up to him to choose. Let the woman beware of incurring her husband’s wrath because this will lead to Allaah’s being angry with her.” – Sh. Muhammad Al-Munajjid

“If a Man is married with a righteous wife, he will live a harmonious life even if he is poor” – Sh. Saleh Al-Fawzan

The blessings for a woman being a righteous wife and a man having the righteous wife is pleasure in this world and the next when we meet Allah…
