Wife And Pleasing Her Husband
Tradition n. 307
قالَ الإمامُ الباقِرُ عليه السلام :
لا شَفيعَ لِلمَرأَةِ أَن جَحُ عِندَ رَبِّها مِن رِضا زَوجِها.
Imam al-Baqir (‘a) said: “No intercessor for a woman, on the Reckoning Day, is more effective with Allah than the consent of her husband.”

Tradition n. 308
رَوى أَبُو الحَسَنِ الرِّضا عليه السلام عَن اَميرِالمُؤمِنينَ عَلِىٍّ عليه السلام قالَ :
خَيرُ نِسائِكُم اَلخَم سُ قيلَ يا اَمِيرَ المُؤمِنينَ وَ مَا الخَم سُ قالَ الهَيِّنَةُ اللَّيِّنَةُ المُواتِيَةُ الَّتي إذا غَضِـبَ زَوجُها لَم تَكتَحِـل بِغُمضٍ حَتى يَرضى وَ إذا غابَ عَنها زَوجُها حَفِظَت هُ في غَيبَتِه فَتِلـكَ عامِلٌ مِن عُمّالِ الله وَ عامِلُ الله لا يَخيبُ.
Imam Abul Hasan ar-Ridha’ (‘a) narrates from Imam Amir al-Mu’minin ‘Ali (‘a) who said: The best women among you are those who have five qualities.”
Amir al-Mu’minin (‘a) was requested what those five were when he said:
-
She is easy-going, obedient, humble, and economical to her husband.
-
She is good tempered to him.
-
She is cooperative and helpful to him in difficulties.
-
Whenever her husband is angry or depressed, she does not rest until she finds him happy and pleased.
-
When her husband is absent from her, she protects his belongings in his absence.
-
Such a woman is an agent of the agents of Allah and the agent of Allah will not be disappointed, (she gains her correct hopes).”

Tradition n. 309
قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :
اَيُّمـا اِمرَأَةٍ باتَت وَ زَوجُها عليها ساخِطٌ في حَقٍّ لَم تُقبَل مِنهـا صَلاةٌ حَتّى يَرضى عَنها.
Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “Any woman who spends the night while her husband is rightfully angry with her, her prayer is not accepted from her until he becomes pleased with her.”

Tradition n. 310
قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
حَقُّ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى المَرأَة، إنارَة السِّراجِ وَ اِصلاحُ الطَّعامِ و أَن تَستَق بِلَهُ عِندَ بابِ بَيتِها فَتَرَحَّبَ بِهِ و أَن لا تَمنَعَهُ نَفسَها اِلاّ مِن عِلَّةٍ.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “The right of a man upon (his) wife is: lighting the light, preparing food, receiving him at the threshold of the door of the house with pleasant conversation, and avoid refusing to offer herself to him except for the time there is an excuse.”

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:
لا تُؤَدِّي المَرأَةُ حَقَّ اللهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتّى تُؤدِّيَ حَقَّ زَوجِها.
The Holy Prophet (S) said: “A woman has not performed the right of Allah, Almighty and Glorious unless she performs the right of her husband.”
