وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ تَعَالَى، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: « إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يُوصِيكُمْ بِالنِّسَاءِ خَيْرًا ! إِنَّ اللهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِالنِّسَاءِ خَيْرًا ! إِنَّ اللهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِالنِّسَاءِ خَيْرًا ! إِنَّ اللهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ، وَبِآبَائِكُمْ، وَإِخْوَانِكُمْ، وَعَمَّاتِكُمْ، وَخَالَاتِكُمْ. إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابَيْنِ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ مَا لَهُ بِهَا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، فَمَا يَرْغَبُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَا هَرَمًا

✧ The Prophet ﷺ stood among the people, praised Allah Almighty, extolled Him, then said: 'Indeed Allah Almighty enjoins you to treat women well! Indeed Allah enjoins you to treat women well! Indeed Allah enjoins you to treat women well! Indeed Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, your fathers, your brothers, your paternal aunts, and your maternal aunts. Indeed a man from the People of the Two Books marries a woman and does not know what good he has in her, and neither of them desires to part from the other until they die of old age.'
