Characteristics of a Pious Wife

A
pious woman’s priority is to seek the pleasure of Allah. She tries
acquiring the qualities of a good wife by following the examples of the
Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and obeying what is commanded in
the Book of Allah. Complete obedience and adherence to the Sunnah of the
Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and Quran is the best of a
woman’s qualities.
Examples:
A woman is married for four reasons:
for her wealth, for her fame, for her beauty and for her religion. So
marry one for her religion and you will win. [Bukhari & Muslim]
Therefore
the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their
husbands) and guard in their husband’s absence what Allah orders them to
guard (e.g. their honor, husbands property, etc) [4:34]
An-Nasaii
narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) was asked “Who
are the best of women?” He replied, “The one who pleases him (her
husband) if he looks at her, obeys him if he orders (her) and does not
subject her honor or money to what he dislikes.”
Ibn Hibban narrated
that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, “If a woman prayed
five prayers, fasted in Ramadan, protected her honor and obeyed her
husband; then she will be told (on the Day of Judgment): enter Paradise
from any of its(eight) doors.”
Reflect on:
If a woman harms (in
any way) her husband, then his wife in Paradise tells her: “Do not harm
him, May Allah fight you, he is only staying temporarily with you. Soon
he will come to us.” [Ahmad & At-Tirmithi]
If a man calls his
wife to bed and she refuses till he slept while angry, then the Angels
will curse her till the morning. [Muslim]
Allah does not look to the woman who does not appreciate her husband while she cannot stand his departing her. [An-Nasaii].
A woman does not fast while her husband is present without his permission, except in Ramadan. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Any woman who asks her husband for divorce for no reason will not smell the fragrance of Paradise. [Sahih Al-Jamii]
The
Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, “If I were to order anyone
to bow down to other than Allah, I would order the wife to do so for her
husband. By the One who owns the soul of Muhammad,if a wife does not
fulfill her obligations towards her husband, then she will not have
fulfilled her obligations towards Allah.” [Ahmad]
