حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، (

قَالَ ابْنُ السَّرْحِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ) عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَضْرِبُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ». فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ذَئِرْنَ النِّسَاءُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ.

فَرَخَّصَ فِي ضَرْبِهِنَّ فَأَطَافَ بِآلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءٌ كَثِيرٌ يَشْكُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ طَافَ بِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ نِسَاءٌ كَثِيرٌ يَشْكُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ لَيْسَ أُولَئِكَ بِخِيَارِكُمْ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Do not beat Allah’s handmaidens, but when Umar came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said: Women have become emboldened towards their husbands, he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) gave permission to beat them. Then many women came round the family of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) complaining against their husbands.

So the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Many women have gone round Muhammad’s family complaining against their husbands. They are not the best among you.

ইয়াস ইবনু আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনু আবূ যুবাব (রাযি.) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা আল্লাহর দাসীদেরকে মারবে না। অতঃপর উমার (রাযি.) রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর নিকট এসে বললেন, মহিলারা তাদের স্বামীদের অবাধ্য হচ্ছে। এরপর তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) তাদেরকে মৃদু আঘাত করার অনুমতি দিলেন।

অতঃপর অনেক মহিলা এসে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর স্ত্রীদের কাছে স্বামীদের বিরুদ্ধে মারধরের অভিযোগ করলো। তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ মুহাম্মাদের পরিবারে কাছে অনেক মহিলা তাদের স্বামীদের বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ নিয়ে এসেছে। সুতরাং যারা স্ত্রীদেরকে প্রহার করে তারা তোমাদের মধ্যে উত্তম নয়।[1] সহীহ।

ایاس بن عبداللہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اللہ کی بندیوں کو نہ مارو ، چنانچہ عمر رضی اللہ عنہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوئے اور کہنے لگے: ( آپ کے اس فرمان کے بعد ) عورتیں اپنے شوہروں پر دلیر ہو گئی ہیں،

چنانچہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے انہیں مارنے اور تادیب کی رخصت دے دی، پھر عورتیں اپنے شوہروں کی شکایتیں لے کر ازواج مطہرات کے پاس پہنچنے لگیں، تو نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: بہت سی عورتیں اپنے شوہروں کی شکایتیں لے کر محمد کے گھر والوں کے پاس پہنچ رہی ہیں، یہ ( مار پیٹ کرنے والے ) لوگ تم میں بہترین لوگ نہیں ہیں ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Abu Khalaf], serta [Ahmad bin 'Amr bin As Sarh], mereka berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Az Zuhri] dari [Abdullah bin Abdullah], Ibnu As Sarh 'Ubaidullah bin Abdullah berkata; dari [Iyas bin Abdullah bin Abu Dzubab], ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Janganlah kalian memukul hamba-hamba wanita Allah (yakni, istri-istri kalian)!"

Kemudian Umar datang kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan berkata; para wanita berani kepada suami-suami mereka. Kemudian beliau memberikan keringanan untuk memukul meraka. Kemudian terdapat banyak wanita yang mengelilingi keluarga Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, mereka mengeluhkan para suami mereka.

Kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sungguh telah terdapat wanita banyak yang mengelilingi keluarga Muhammad dan mengeluhkan para suami mereka. Mereka bukanlah orang pilihan (terbaik) diantara kalian

İyâs b. Abdullah b. Ebî Zübâb'dan; demiştir ki: "Peygamber (s.a.v.), "Allah'ın cariyelerini dövmeyiniz." buyurdu. Bunun üzerine Ömer (r.a.), Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)'e gelip; (Yâ Rasûlallah), Kadınlar kocalarına karşı kafa tutmaya başladılar (diye şikâyet etti). Bunun üzerine (Rasûl-u zîşân efendimiz) de kadınları (hafifçe) dövmeye izin verdi, (Bu izinden) sonra Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)'in hanımlarının yanına kocalarından şikâyetçi olarak birçok kadınlar geldi.

Peygamber (s.a.v.) (bunu görünce şöyle) buyurdu: "-Gerçekten (bu gece) Muhammed ailesine kocalarından şikâyetçi olarak bir çok kadınlar geldi. (Şunu iyi bilin ki karılarını döven) bu kimseler sizin hayırlılarınız değil(ler)dir

Sunan Abi Dawud 2146, Book 12, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Hadith 101. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the beating of wives. Then the Commander of the Believers, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him), came and said: O Messenger of Allah, women have become bold toward their husbands, and their manners have worsened. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), thus, permitted beating them in a manner that is not severe if there is a valid reason for it, such as refusing to fulfill the husband's rights or disobedience and the like.

Then, after that, women came to the wives of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) complaining that their husbands were beating them severely and misusing this concession. So the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those men who beat their wives severely are not the best among you.

What it teaches

  • A clarification of the virtue of treating women kindly, and that being patient with them and overlooking their faults is better than beating them.
  • Allah Almighty made beating the last step in addressing a wife's disobedience, as He said: {As for those women on whose part you fear rebellion, [first] admonish them, [next] forsake them in bed, and [last] hit them. Then if they obey you, do not take further action against them. Indeed, Allah is Most High, All-Great.} [Surat an-Nisā’: 34] These three steps are to be followed in order, not to be applied all at once. One must begin with advice, admonition, and reminders. If that proves effective, then praise be to Allah. If it does not help, then comes separation in bed. And if that still does not result in change, only then may one resort to beating, as a form of discipline, not out of revenge.
  • A man is a caretaker for his household, and he is responsible for raising and disciplining his family with wisdom and good counsel.
  • It is permissible to question or review a scholar regarding his Fatwa (legal opinion), to understand its consequences and outcomes.
  • It is permissible to lodge a complaint with the ruler or a scholar if the complainant suffered harm.
