Musnad Ahmad 22078

Translation

✧ that Muʿādh came to them in Yemen, and a woman from Khawlān met him with twelve sons of hers. She had left their father in her house. The youngest of them was the one whose beard had grown. She stood up and greeted Muʿādh, with two men of her sons holding her upper arms. She said: 'Who sent you, O man?' Muʿādh said to her: 'The Messenger of God ﷺ sent me.' The woman said: 'The Messenger of God ﷺ sent you, and you are the messenger of the Messenger of God ﷺ. Will you not tell me, O messenger of the Messenger of God ﷺ?' Muʿādh said to her: 'Ask me about whatever you wish.' She said

• حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ تَتَّقِي اللهَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَتْ وَتَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ قَالَتْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِاللهِ عَلَيْكَ لَتُحَدِّثَنِّي مَا حَقُّ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ أَوَ مَا رَضِيتِ أَنْ تَسْمَعِي وَتُطِيعِي وَتَتَّقِي اللهَ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؛ فَإِنِّي تَرَكْتُ أَبَا هَؤُلَاءِ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فِي الْبَيْتِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُعَاذٍ فِي يَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّكِ تَرْجِعِينَ إِذَا رَجَعْتِ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتِ الْجُذَامَ قَدْ خَرَقَ لَحْمَهُ وَخَرَقَ مَنْخِرَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتِ مَنْخِرَيْهِ يَسِيلَانِ قَيْحًا وَدَمًا ثُمَّ أَلْقَمْتِيهِمَا فَاكِ لِكَيْ مَا تَبْلُغِي حَقَّهُ مَا بَلَغْتِ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا
