*Principles In Familial Stability*

*5. The Fifth Principle: Patience between the 

spouses is a necessary affair, and there is no doing without it for both of them.*

And this is a continuation of the aforementioned

matters; The woman exercises patience, and the

husband [too] exercises patience, especially when there

is that which entails patience. Some women perhaps

complain of lack of expenditure, however, if we look at

the husband, we would find that he did that which is

within capability under his circumstances, so she should

not burden him with that which is beyond that. Similarly,

the husband: he looks to the condition of the wife, her

changing conditions, her circumstances, her mental

conditions, he takes into consideration these things, he

is patient. 

Allah —glorified and exalted be He— said: “but give

glad tidings to As-Sabirun (the patient)”. [2:155]. He said:

“Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in

full, without reckoning”. [39:10]. The 

Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“And there is no gift better and vast (you may be given)

than patience”. [Bukhari, 6470]. The wife is patient with

her husband and the husband is patient with his wife,

such that the living between them lasts.
