Chapter on the Recommended and Praiseworthy Traits and Characteristics of Women
وَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي زَوْجَةً إِذَا دَخَلْتُ تَلَقَّتْنِي وَ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ شَيَّعَتْنِي وَ إِذَا رَأَتْنِي مَهْمُوماً قَالَتْ مَا يُهِمُّكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَهْتَمُّ لِرِزْقِكَ فَقَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لَكَ بِهِ غَيْرُكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَهْتَمُّ بِأَمْرِ آخِرَتِكَ فَزَادَكَ اَللَّهُ هَمّاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عُمَّالاً وَ هَذِهِ مِنْ عُمَّالِهِ لَهَا نِصْفُ أَجْرِ اَلشَّهِيدِ".
A man came to the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) and said: "I have a wife who, when I enter the house, welcomes me, and when I leave, bids me farewell. If she sees me worried, she says, 'What is troubling you? If you are concerned about your sustenance, know that someone else has taken responsibility for it. And if you are concerned about your afterlife, then may Allah سبحانه وتعالى increase your concern.'" The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى has workers, and she is one of His سبحانه وتعالى workers. She will have half the reward of a martyr."
