جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ حَقِّ الزَّوْجِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ فَخَبَّرَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ فَمَا حَقُّهَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ يَكْسُوهَا مِنَ الْعُرْيِ وَ يُطْعِمُهَا مِنَ الْجُوعِ وَ إِنْ أَذْنَبَتْ غَفَرَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ فَلَيْسَ لَهَا عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ غَيْرُ هَذَا قَالَ لَا قَالَتْ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا تَزَوَّجْتُ أَبَداً ثُمَّ وَلَّتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ارْجِعِي فَرَجَعَتْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ وَ أَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْنَ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Al Jamourany, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Amro Bin Jubeyr Al Aramy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A woman came over to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> and asked him<sup>saww</sup> about the rights of the husband upon the wife. So he<sup>saww</sup> informed her. Then she said, ‘So what are her rights upon him?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘He has to clothe her from the nakedness, and feed her from the hunger, and if she sins, forgive her’. So she said, ‘So isn’t there anything for her upon him apart from this?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘No’. She said, ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, I will not get married, ever!’ Then she turned around to leave. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Come back!’ So she returned. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:24#h60"><a href="/books/quran:24#h60">[24:60]</a></a> and if they restrain themselves it is better for them</span>’.
