From the Manners of a Wife with her Husband

From the Manners of a Wife with her Husband

It is reported that the wife of Imâm Sa’îd b. Al-Musayyib – Allâh have mercy on him – said:


We only ever used to speak to our husbands like you address your commanders and leaders: [we would supplicate for them when talking to them] “May Allâh keep you right!”, “May Allâh keep you well!”


Abû Nu’aym, Hilyatu Al-Awliyâ` 5:198.




After the death of his wife Umm Sâlih, Imâm Ahmad – Allâh have mercy on them, used to praise her. He once said:


In the thirty years she was with me, we never had a single word of disagreement.


Al-Khatîb Al-Baghdâdî, Târîkh Baghdâd 16:626.
