The Right of Wife on Husband

1- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا الَّذِي إِذَا فَعَلَهُ كَانَ مُحْسِناً قَالَ يُشْبِعُهَا وَيَكْسُوهَا وَإِنْ جَهِلَتْ غَفَرَ لَهَا وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ عِنْدَ أَبِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) تُؤْذِيهِ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهَا.
1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the right of woman on her husband for which when he yields is a man of good deeds. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must provide her sufficient food, clothes and forgive her if she acted ignorantly.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘My father had a woman who would disappoint him (the Imam) but he would forgive her.’”
