Allaah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:

*وَلَهُنَّ مِثۡلُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيۡهِنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۚ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيۡهِنَّ دَرَجَةٞۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ*

_Women have rights similar to those of men equitably, although men have a degree !(of responsibility) above them. And Allaah is Almighty, All-Wise._

[Al-Baqara 2:228]

Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) narrated:⁣

The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said: _*“The most complete of the believers in faith, is the one with the best character among them. And the best of you are those who are best to your women.”⁣*_

[Graded Hasan Sahih in Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1162]⁣

Narrated by Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه):

Allaah 's Apostle (ﷺ) said, 

_*"Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely."⁣*_

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3331]⁣

Narrated by Mu’awiyah ibn Haydah (رضي الله عنه):

_I said, *“O Messenger of Allaah, what are the rights of the wife of any one of us over him?”* He (ﷺ) said: *“That you should feed her when you feed yourself, clothe her when you clothe yourself, you should not hit her on the face, you should not curse her and you should not forsake her except in the house.”⁣*_

[Musnad Ahmad 20025 and Sunan Ab Dawood 2142, Shaykh al-Albani said concerning this hadeeth in Saheeh Abi Dawood: (it is) hasan saheeh]⁣

 Narrated by Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه):

Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, _*“You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allaah's sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife's mouth.”⁣*_

[Sahih al-Bukhari 56]

From the above, what is clear is a Muslim who believes in Allaah (ﷻ) and His Messenger (ﷺ) will be merciful upon his wife/wives and not otherwise. 

Be the best to your woman in replica of our role model, the Prophet (ﷺ) as Aisha (رضي الله عنها) reported that:

_"The Messenger of Allaah, (ﷺ), said, *“The best of you are the best to their families, and I am the best to my family.”*..._
