"From Ibn Mas'ud who said: Any woman whose husband has given her authority over his property, and she gives according to a measure and withholds according to a measure, she is an agent among the agents of Allah, and the agent of Allah does not lose. Any woman who leaves her husband, and nothing draws her back to him except Allah and Islam, and she acts in what pleases him, obeys his command, gives in right and withholds in right, and gives him his right from herself while she is unwilling, then she is among the best of women, and she is raised a degree. Any woman who leaves her husband while loving him, to whom he has given authority, and she squanders his wealth and ruins it, then she is the fahmah. And what will make you know what the fahmah is? It is the fire of Allah, kindled. Any woman who is rebellious and hateful toward her husband, there is no repentance for her until she places her hand in his hand, and Allah and her husband will judge as they wish."
