Advice To Musilmahs Regarding Their Husbands, Part 9

She Should Be Grateful To Him:

Proof:

Allaah has made the husband the master and owner. Aboo Hurayrah narrated in the saheeh report that the Prophet (saw) said:

“He is not grateful towards Allaah, who is not grateful towards other people.“

[Ahmad, Aboo Daawood & At-Tirmidhee]

And a more clear cut example is the hadeeth of Asma’ Bint Yazeed who said:

“The Messenger of Allaah passed by us when we were among a group of women. He greeted us with salaam and said:

‘Beware of ingratitude towards those who do you favours.‘

We said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah (saw), what is ingratitude towards those who do us favours?‘

He said:

‘One of you may stay unmarried for a long time, living with her parents, then Allaah blesses her with a husband and blesses her with wealth and children from him. Then she becomes angry and says, ‘I have never seen anything good from you!‘.’

[Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, At-Tirmidhee & Ibn Maajah]
