Tradition n. 313

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

ما مِنِ ام رَأَةٍ تَس قِي زَوجَها شَربَةً مِن مـاءٍ اِلاّ كانَ خَيرًا لَها مِن عِبادَة سَنَةِ صِيامِ نَهارِها وَ قِيامِ لَيلِها.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “There is no (believing) woman who gives her husband a glass of water but it will be rewarded her better than the worship of one year during which she fasts on days and keeps vigil during the nights.”

Tradition n. 316

عَن اَبي جَعفَرٍ عليه السلام قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم: قالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجلَّ إذا أَرَدتُ أَن أَج مَعَ لِلمُسلِـمِ خَيرَ الدّنيا وَ الآخِـرَةِ، جَعَل تُ لَهُ قَل بًا خاشِعاً، وَ لِسانًا ذاكِـرً، وَ جَسَـدًا عَلَى البَـلاءِ صابِراً، وَ زَوجَةً مُؤمِنةً تَسُرُّهُ إذا نَظَرَ اِلَيها وَ تَحفَظُـهُ إذا غابَ عَنها في نَفسِها وَ مالِهِ.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “Allah, Almighty and Glorious, has said: 'Had I willed to gather the good of this world and the next for a Muslim believer, I would set for the one a humble heart, a thankful tongue, and a body patient in afflictions. (To a man I would give) a pious wife whom when he looks at, he is delighted and who (she) protects herself and his properties for him when he is away from her.”

قالَ الإمامُ الصّادِقُ عليه السلام :

مَلعُونَةٌ مَلعُونَةٌ اِمرَأةٌ تُؤ ذِي زَوجَها وَ تَغُمُّـهُ وَ سَعِيـدَةٌ سَعِيدَةٌ اِمرَأَةٌ تُكرِمُ زَوجَها وَلا تُؤ ذِيهِ وَ تُطِيعُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ اَحوالِهِ.

Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “Intensively is cursed (by Allah) the woman who hurts her husband and makes him grievous, but intensively is prosperous the woman who respects her husband and does not hurt him while she does obey him in all conditions.”

Tradition n. 318

قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلی الله عليه و آله و سلم:

اِنَّ مِن خَيرِ نِسائِكُم اَلوَلوُدَ الوَدُودَ اَلسَّتيرةَ العَفيفةَ اَلعَزِيـزةَ فِي اَهلِها اَلذليلَةَ مَعَ بَعلِها اَلمُتَبَرِّجَةَ مِن زَوجِها اَلحَصانَ عَن غَيرِه الَّتي تَسمَعُ قَولَهُ وَ تُطيعُ اَمرَهُ وَ إذا خَلابِها بَذَلَـت لَهُ ما أَرادَ مِنها، وَلَم تَبَذَّل كَتَبََّذُّلِ الرَّجُلِ.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “Verily your best woman is she who is fertile, affectionate, keeps secrets, and is pious. She obeys her husband and is honourably dear among her kinsmen. When she is with her husband, she reveals her ornaments but conceals it from anyone other than him. She hearkens to his speech and obeys his commands. When she is in private, she dresses herself beautifully and is eager to offer him generously whatever he wants from her. She is usually ornamented (for him) and is not plain as men are.”
