*The Righteous Husband Exemplified by the Messenger of Allāh Muhammad (Blessings and Peace be upon him)*

*Part 3*

The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) did not forget to humour and entertain his wives. 'Ā'ishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) said when they asked her how he (Blessings and peace be upon him) was, she said:
“He used to enter with a smile and he made us laugh.” 

And she narrated that the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon) invited her to see how the Ethiopian people danced with the spears in the mosque, she said: "The Prophet heard the voice and the sound of boys, so the Messenger (Blessings and Peace be upon him) got up and he saw some of the Ethiopian people dance, and the boys gathered around them. He (Blessings and Peace be upon) said: “O 'Ā'ishah, Come and see”. 
'Ā'ishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) came and put her chin on the shoulder of the Messenger of Allah (Blessings and Peace be upon him), he (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said, “Are you not satisfied… are you not satisfied?” She said: I kept on saying, "No”, to see how much I mean to him."

The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) raced 'Ā'ishah and he let her win, then he raced her and won and said humourously: “This time, I win.”

On the authority of 'Ā'ishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) said to me: “I know if you are satisfied with me, and if you are angry with me", she said: “I said: How do you know?” He said: "If you are satisfied with me, you say: 'No, by the Lord of Muhammad. If you are angry with me, you say: 'No, by the Lord of Ibrahim',  she said, I said: yes that is true O Messenger of Allāh, I only leave out your name.”

The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) was angry with 'Ā'ishah once, and he said to her, “Do you accept Abu Ubaydah Ibn al-Jarrah to judge between us?” She said, "No, this is a man will not judge for me against you." He  said, “Do you accept Umar?”, she said: "No, I’m scared of Umar." He (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said:  “Do you accept Abu Bakr (her father)?”  She said: "yes", Abu Bakr came, and the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) asked him to judge between them. Abu Bakr was surprised and said: "Me, O Messenger of Allāh?", then the Messenger of Allāh began to tell him the origin of the dispute. 'Ā'ishah interrupted and said: 'tell the truth, O Messenger of Allāh. Abu Bakr beat her face and blood came down from her nose and said: 'Who would tell the truth more  than the Messenger of Allāh?!' The Prophet was upset and said: 'we did not want this', and he (Blessings and Peace be upon him) washed the blood from her face and satisfied her with his hand.

And if his wife was angry, he put his hand on her shoulder and said: “O Allāh forgive her sin and remove the anger from her heart, and protect her from the fitnah.”

The Messenger (Blessings and Peace be upon him) did not hit anyone with his honourable pure hand, as 'Ā'ishah said: “The Prophet of Allah (Blessings and Peace be upon him) did not strike with his hand any of his women or servant.”
