حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو قَزَعَةَ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا حَقُّ زَوْجَةِ أَحَدِنَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: «أَنْ تُطْعِمَهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَتَكْسُوَهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ (أَوِ اكْتَسَبْتَ) وَلَا تَضْرِبِ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلاَّ فِي الْبَيْتِ»

Muawiyah asked: Messenger of Allah, what is the right of the wife of one of us over him? He replied: That you should give her food when you eat, clothe her when you clothe yourself, do not strike her on the face, do not revile her or separate yourself from her except in the house.

হাকীম ইবনু মু‘আবিয়াহ আল-কুশাইরী (রহ.) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা আমি বলি, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমাদের কারো উপর তার স্ত্রীর কি হক রয়েছে? তিনি বললেনঃ তুমি যখন আহার করবে তাকেও আহার করাবে। তুমি পোশাক পরিধান করলে তাকেও পোশাক দিবে। তার মুখমন্ডলে মারবে না, তাকে গালমন্দ করবে না এবং পৃথক রাখতে হলে ঘরের মধ্যেই রাখবে।[1] হাসান সহীহ।

معاویہ بن حیدہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! ہمارے اوپر ہماری بیوی کا کیا حق ہے؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: یہ کہ جب تم کھاؤ تو اسے بھی کھلاؤ، جب پہنو یا کماؤ تو اسے بھی پہناؤ، چہرے پر نہ مارو، برا بھلا نہ کہو، اور گھر کے علاوہ اس سے جدائی ۱؎ اختیار نہ کرو ۔

ابوداؤد کہتے ہیں: «ولا تقبح» کا مطلب یہ ہے کہ تم اسے «قبحك الله» نہ کہو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musa bin Isma'Il], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad], telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Qaza'ah Al Bahali], dari [Hakim bin Mu'awiyah Al Qusyairi] dari [ayahnya], ia berkata; aku katakan; wahai Rasulullah, apakah hak isteri salah seorang diantara kami atasnya?

Beliau berkata: "Engkau memberinya makan apabila engkau makan, memberinya pakaian apabila engkau berpakaian, janganlah engkau memukul wajah, jangan engkau menjelek-jelekkannya (dengan perkataan atau cacian), dan jangan engkau tinggalkan kecuali di dalam rumah."

Abu Daud berkata; dan janganlah engkau menjelek-jelekkannya (dengan perkataan atau cacian) dengan mengatakan; semoga Allah memburukkan wajahmu

Muaviye el-kuşeyri'den; demiştir ki: (Nebi Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem’e hitaben); Ya Rasûlullah, bizim birimizin üzerinde, zevcesinin hakkı nedir?" diye sordum da, "Yediğin zaman ona da yedirmen, elbise aldığın zaman ona da almandır. (Sakın) yüze vurma, (onu) kötüleme evin dışında (onu) terk etme." diye cevap verdi. "(Ebu Davud dedi ki: "(Onu) kötüleme" (sözüyle yasaklanmak istenen senin, karına hitaben) "Allah seni ne çirkin yaratmış" demendir

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ «وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ». أَنْ تَقُولَ قَبَّحَكِ اللَّهُ

Abu Dawud said: The meaning of “do not revile her” is, as you say: “May Allah revile you”.

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the wife's right over her husband, so he mentioned several things including the following: First: Do not favor yourself with food over her; rather, you should feed her whenever you eat. Second: Do not favor yourself with clothing; rather, clothe her when you clothe yourself and when you earn money and have the ability. Third: A wife should not be beaten except for a valid reason and necessity, and if there is a need to discipline her, such as neglecting some of her obligations, the striking must be light and not harmful.

Furthermore, the face must never be struck, as it is the most honored and prominent part of the body, containing delicate and noble features. Fourth: Do not insult or say: "May Allah disgrace your face," or attribute it or anything of her body to ugliness, which is the opposite of beauty. This is because Allah Almighty is the One Who shaped the human face and body, and He has perfected everything He created.

Criticizing the creation indirectly leads to criticizing the Creator, and we seek refuge in Allah from such an act. Fifth: Do not abandon her except in the bed, and do not physically leave her or move her to another house. This applies to typical instances of abandonment that may occur between spouses.

What it teaches

  • Keenness of the Companions to know the rights they owe to others and to know their own rights.
  • A husband must provide his wife with maintenance, clothes, and accommodation.
  • Moral and physical forms of abuse are prohibited.
  • An example of the forbidden abuse is saying: You come from a bad tribe, or from a bad family, etc.
