“Have you ever heard anything a woman has said better than what she has said?”

dawah-tu-salafiyyah:

Asmaa bint Yazeed ibn as-Sakan (radiallaahu anha) came to the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) and said:

“Oh Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you. I have come to you on behalf of the women. We have believed in you. We do not go out and we remain in your homes. We are your source of physical pleasure. We carry your children. A man goes out to pray jumu’ah and jamaa’ah and follows the janazah. And if you go out for Hajj, or ‘Umrah, or Jihaad, we look after your wealth. We wash your clothing. We raise your children. Shall we not share in the reward?”

The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) turned to his companions and said:

“Have you ever heard anything a woman has said better than what she has said?”

Then he said to her:

“Understand oh woman, and inform the other women. Indeed a woman’s perfection of her relationship with her husband, her seeking his pleasure, and doing that which he approves of is equivalent to all of that.”

Asmaa left exclaiming:

“La ilaaha illa Allah!”

aqlamoon:

The Condition of a nation that possesses the true and upright methodology then forsakes it and searches in the garbage of the theories of men is similar to (what was described in) the saying of the poet:

Like the camel in the desert that is killed by thirst

While the water is carried upon its back

daphnah:

Ibn Al-Jawzee Rahimahullah said: It is befitting for the intelligent
woman when she has found a righteous spouse that she strives in what
pleases him, and she stays away from everything that harms him. For
indeed, whenever she causes him harm or she does that which displeases
him that will cause him annoyance and may remain in him. Taken from: Ahkaam al Nisaa
