My Husband My Best Friend



From Ibn ‘Abbas r.a. that the Prophet s.a.w. said: 

“O women, give charity, for I have surely seen that you form the majority of the inhabitants of Hell.” 

They asked, ‘Why is this so, O Messenger of Allah?” 

The Prophet s.a.w. said :

“Because you curse too much, and are ungrateful for good treatment (on the part of your husbands).” 
(Bukhari and Muslim)

According to another report  the Prophet s.a.w. said :

“because they are ungrateful for good and kind treatment. Even if you treated one of them (these ungrateful women) well for an entire lifetime, then she saw one fault in you, she would say, ‘I have never seen anything good from you!’” 
(Bukhari)

According to a report given by Ahmad, a man said, “O Messenger of Allah, are they not our mothers and sisters and wives?” 

The Prophet s.a.w. said :

“Of course, but when they are treated generously they are ungrateful, and when they are tested, they do not have patience.”

4 Things the Muslimah should avoid lest she fall into the sins of ingratitude towards her husband :

1.  Frequent cursing

2.  Denying her husband’s good treatment of her

3.  Forgetting to give thanks for times of ease

4.  Failing to be patient at times of difficulty

The Muslim woman must show the highest example of respect towards her husband and taking note of his good qualities.
