Chapter on the Recommended and Praiseworthy Traits and Characteristics of Women
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: "مَا اِسْتَفَادَ اِمْرُؤٌ مُسْلِمٌ فَائِدَةً بَعْدَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تَسُرُّهُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَ تُطِيعُهُ إِذَا أَمَرَهَا وَ تَحْفَظُهُ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ مَالِهِ".
The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) said: "A Muslim man does not gain a better benefit after Islam than a Muslim wife who pleases him when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands her, and safeguards herself and his wealth in his absence."
