The Righteous Husband Exemplified by the Messenger of Allāh Muhammad (Blessings and Peace be upon him)* *Part 6 (Final)


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

*Part 6  (Final)*

One of the important means in the cause of reform and the quest to improve the relationship is the advise to be patient, as did Abu Bakr (may Allāh be pleased with him), with his daughter Asma, whose husband was busy, and so she complained to him from jealousy, he said: "O daughter be patient, if the woman has a good husband, and died before her, and she did not marry after him, they will be united in Paradise”. If the wife has mistakes, then the path of the faithful is to ignore the errors and overcome them and not disclose and spread them, while reviewing the memory to search for the good and positive qualities. He (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said:
“The mu'min (believing) husband should not despise his mu'min (believing) wife because if there is any quality he dislikes in her he will certainly be pleased another.”
[Muslim]

Good relationship is not only by stopping from harming the wife, but also to have patience with her anger and unreasonable behaviour when there is harm expected from her, and to understand her feelings and her feelings of jealousy. The husband’s patience with the wife is one of the doors of Jannah, and we have the best example in the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him). 

Anas Bin Malik narrated: “While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives. One of the mothers of the believers sent a meal in a dish. The wife at whose house the Prophet was struck the hand of the servant, causing the dish to fall and break. The Prophet gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started collecting on them the food which had been in the dish and said, “Your mother felt jealous.” Then he detained the servant till a (sound) dish was brought from the wife at whose house he was. He gave the sound dish to the wife whose dish had been broken, and kept the broken one at the house where it had been broken.”

From the good relationship that Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) ordered is to look at the good qualities of the wife and dislike looking at the bad ones. There is no perfect human being, and there are husbands who focus on the bad only: some defects in the shape of the wife, in her morals, in her nature, but she is virtuous, chaste, honest, clean, and obedient. But he ignores the good, and highlights her mistakes. This is not good relationship, and is unfair and unjust.

Our beloved Messenger (Blessings and Peace be upon him) groomed and used perfume for his wives, 'Ā'ishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) said: as if I see the whiteness of the musk in the intersection of the Messenger of Allah’s hair. And she was asked: "What was the first thing the Prophet do when he enters his house?" She said: "He started with Siwak." He does not want his wives to smell the smell of food he ate.

And it is necessary in the marital life to show fondness to the wife. Once Ali (may Allāh be pleased with him) came in and saw his wife Fātimah (may Allāh be pleased with her) using the miswak (tooth brush). He angrily took the miswak off her hand and held it up in front of his eyes. While looking at it, he said: “Fortunate are you oh stick of the Arrak (tree), how could you be in my wife's mouth! Aren't you afraid that I would see you? Had you been of the people of war, I would have killed you! None other than you, oh siwak, has been spared from me!”

This is our master Muhammad (Blessings and Peace be upon him) as a husband; these are some examples of his treatment and his morals with his wives; he (Blessings and Peace be upon him) was the best husband ever. This is the marital life that is the basis of the family's happiness in the life of our Messenger and his noble companions, so as Muslims we must abide by what the early Muslims have  committed to, and they produced for us heroes who carried Islam and raised its banner. Allāh willing, there will be heroes in the Ummah of Muhammad (Blessings and Peace be upon him) who will restore the glory of Islam by adhering to the commands of Allāh and His beloved Messenger. We invite you to a peaceful, merciful and faithful marital life following the Sunnah of the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) and the companions to enjoy it in this world and to be rewarded for it in the Hereafter.


*Alhamdulillah!* This is the end.
May Allāh guide us. Ameen

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w...
