Chapter on the Wife's Rights Over Her Husband

وَ رَوَى رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ وَ اَلْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ مَنْ قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْيُنْفِقْ مِمّٰا آتٰاهُ اَللّٰهُ قَالَ "إِنْ أَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا مَا يُقِيمُ ظَهْرَهَا مَعَ كِسْوَةٍ وَ إِلاَّ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا".
Rubi ibn Abdullah and Al-Fudhayl ibn Yasar narrated from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام regarding the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic: "And whoever has his provision restricted, let him spend from what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given him" (Surah At-Talaq 65:7). Imam عليه السلام said: "If he provides for her what sustains her strength along with clothing, then it is sufficient. Otherwise, they shall be separated."
