Woman in Islam — Page 32
32 Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Treat women kindly. Woman has been created from a rib and the most crooked part of the rib is the uppermost. If you try to straighten it you will break it and if you leave it alone it will remain crooked. So treat women kindly. (Bokhari and Muslim) Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Let no Muslim man entertain any rancour against a Muslim woman. Should he dislike one quality in her, he would find another which is pleasing. (Muslim) Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: When the husband calls his wife to his bed and she does not come and he spends the night offended with her, the angels keep cursing her through the night. (Bokhari) Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Had I ordained that a person should prostrate himself before another, I would have commanded that a wife should prostrate herself before her husband. (Tirmidhi) Umm Salamah relates that the Holy Prophet said: If a woman dies and her husband is pleased with her, she will enter Paradise. (Tirmidhi) Usamah ibn Zaid relates that the Holy Prophet said: I am not leaving a more harmful trial for men than women. (Bokhari and Muslim)
