Ahadeeth Regarding Obedience to One's Husband In That Which is Good

Ibn Hibbaan narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: "The Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: If a woman prays her five (daily prayers), fasts her month (Ramadaan), guards her chastity and obeys her husband, it will be said to her: ‘Enter Paradise from whichever of the gates of Paradise you wish.’”

Ibn Maajah (1853) narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Abi Awfa said: "When Mu’aadh came from Syria, he prostrated to the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) who said, 'What is this, O Mu'aadh?' He said, 'I went to Syria and saw them prostrating to their archbishops and patriarchs, and I wanted to do that for you.' The Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, 'Do not do that. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allaah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no woman can fulfil her duty towards Allaah until she fulfils her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.'”

Ahmad (19025) and al-Haakim narrated from al-Husayn ibn Muhsin that his paternal aunt came to the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) for something and he dealt with her need, then the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “Do you have a husband?” She said, “Yes.” He said: “How are you with him?” She said, “I do not neglect any of his rights except those I am unable to fulfil.” He said: “Look at how you are with him, for he is your paradise and your hell” – i.e., he is the cause of you entering Paradise if you fulfil his rights and the cause of your entering Hell if you fall short in that.
