Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 3|Chapter 32
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ اَلْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ خَرَجَ فِي بَعْضِ حَوَائِجِهِ وَ عَهِدَ إِلَى اِمْرَأَتِهِ عَهْداً أَلاَّ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا حَتَّى يَقْدَمَ" قَالَ "وَ إِنَّ أَبَاهَا مَرِضَ فَبَعَثَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ زَوْجِي خَرَجَ وَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ لاَ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِي حَتَّى يَقْدَمَ وَ إِنَّ أَبِي مَرِيضٌ فَتَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَعُودَهُ فَقَالَ "لاَ اِجْلِسِي فِي بَيْتِكِ وَ أَطِيعِي زَوْجَكِ" " قَالَ "فَمَاتَ فَبَعَثَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي قَدْ مَاتَ فَتَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ "لاَ اِجْلِسِي فِي بَيْتِكِ وَ أَطِيعِي زَوْجَكِ" " قَالَ "فَدُفِنَ اَلرَّجُلُ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا، رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "أَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكِ وَ لِأَبِيكِ بِطَاعَتِكِ لِزَوْجِكِ" ".
Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: A man from the Ansar, during the time of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), went out for some errands and instructed his wife not to leave her house until he returned. Her father became ill, so the woman sent a message to the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saying: "My husband has gone out and instructed me not to leave my house until he returns, but my father is ill. Do you command me to visit him?" The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "No, stay in your house and obey your husband." Then her father died, so she sent another message, saying: "O Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, my father has died. Do you command me to perform the funeral prayer for him?" He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "No, stay in your house and obey your husband." After the man was buried, the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent her a message saying: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, has forgiven you and your father because of your obedience to your husband."
