The Rights of Husband on His Wife

8- عَنْهُ عَنِ الْجَامُورَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَتْ مَا حَقُّ الزَّوْجِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْ تُجِيبَهُ إِلَى حَاجَتِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَلَى قَتَبٍ وَلا تُعْطِيَ شَيْئاً إِلا بِإِذْنِهِ فَإِنْ فَعَلَتْ فَعَلَيْهَا الْوِزْرُ وَلَهُ الأجْرُ وَلا تَبِيتَ لَيْلَةً وَهُوَ عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ ظَالِماً قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لا تَزَوَّجْتُ زَوْجاً أَبَداً.
8. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Jamuraniy from ibn abu Hamzah from abu al-Mighra’ from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that once a woman came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and asked, ‘What is the right of husband on the wife?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Of his rights is to make herself available for him even when on the back of a camel and must not give anything without his permission. If she does it, she carries the sin and the reward is for him. She must not pass a night with him angry on her.’ She asked, ‘Even if he acts unjustly, O Messenger of Allah?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘Yes, even if he is as such.”
