Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim Al Hazramy, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘In the era of Rasool-Allah^saww, a man from the Helpers went out regarding one of his needs, so he pledged from his wife a pledge that she would not go out from her house until he comes back. He^asws said: ‘And her father was ill, so the woman sent a message to the Prophet^saww saying, ‘My husband went out and placed a pledge upon me that I shall not go out from my house until he comes back, and that my father has become sick, therefore instruct me that I can aid him’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘No! Sit in your house, and obey your husband’. He^asws said: ‘So it was difficult (upon her), so she sent a message to him for a second time with that saying, ‘So if you^saww were to order me, I could aid him’. So he^saww said:’ Sit in your house and obey your husband’. He^asws said: ‘So her father died, and she sent a message to him^saww, ‘My father has died, so if you^saww order me that I can Pray over him’. So he^saww said: ‘No, sit in your house and obey your husband’. He^asws said: ‘So the man was buried, and Rasool-Allah^saww sent a message to her: ‘Allah^azwj has Forgiven you and your father due to your obedience to your husband’.
