THE BEST OF WOMEN
The best of women is that who is good and kind to her husband.
Abu Uthaynah as-Sadafi reported that Allah's Messenger said: "The best of your women are those who are bearers of many children, loving
to their husbands, comforting and tolerant - provided that they have taqwa of Allah. The worst of your women are those who display their charms and swagger in their walk- those are hypocrites indeed. None of them (the women) will enter Jannah except (as ragely) as are the crows that have red beaks and legs" (Reported by al-Bayhaqi (in at-Sunan) and others. Verified
to be authentic by Al-Albani.
Ibn 'Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger said: "should I not tell you of your men who will be of the people of Jannah? The prophets
will be in Jannah; the siddiqs (most truthful) will be in Jannah; the shahids (martyrs) will be in Jannah; a baby (dying before puberty) will be
in jannah; and a man who visits his brother in a distant locality, visiting him only for the sake of Allah . And as for your women who will be of the people of Jannah, she is the loving, bearer of many children, the one who is caring towards her husband - the one who, when he gets angry, come until she puts her hand in his and say, "I will not taste any sleep until you are happy".
SHOWING GRATITUDE
Asma Bint Zayd reported that Allah's Messenger passed by her while she was with other young girls of her age. He addressed they by saying "Avoid the ingratitude of those who have been favored". She asked him "O Allah's Messenger! What is the ingratitude of those who have been favored?", He explained: "One of you might stay with her parents for a long time (before marriage). Allah would then grant her a righteous husband, and grant her children from him. She would then get angry for some reason and
turn ungrateful, saying to him, "I have never seen any good from you". (Reported by al-Bukhari, Ahmad and others, Verified to be authentic by
al-Albani).
'Abdullah Bin 'Umar, Abu Hurayrah and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger said to the women: "O women! Give charity and ask for Allah's forgiveness abundantly, for I have seen you (women) to be the majority of the Fire's people. (That is because) you frequently
curse, and you are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen ones with incomplete intellect and religion who are more overpowering to a man of
reason than you are! As for incomplete intellect: it is that two women's testimonies equate one man's. And as for incomplete religion: it is that she stays for a number of days without prayer, and she breaks her fast
during Ramadan". (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim)
A SHARED REWARD
If a woman gives charity from her husband's money, knowing that he would not object to that, she would get half of the reward and he the
other half.
Abu Hurayrah reported that Allah's Messenger said: "when a woman gives charity from her husband's earnings, without his instruction, he
gets half of the reward". (Reported by Abu Dawud)Verified to be authentic by al-Albani. Abu Hurayrah reported that Allah's Messenger said: "it is not permissible for a woman to fast, while her husband is present, without his
permission - except for Ramadan. Nor is it permissible for her to admit anyone to his house except with his permission. And whatever charity she gives without his instruction, she would be given half of its reward". (Reported by Abu-Dawud, Ibn Majah and others)
Aishah reported that Allah's Messenger said: "When a women gives away (as charity) from her home's food, without causing harm (to the
family), she earns her reward because of her spending, and her husband earns his reward because he provided (the food). (Reported by al-Bukhari, Muslim and others)
