Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once a man brought his daughter to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said, "My daughter is refusing to get married." The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to the girl, "Obey your father." The girl replied, "I will not marry until you tell me what right a husband has over his wife." The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said, "The right of a husband over his wife is such that if a boil appears on the husband's body and his wife licks it, or if pus and blood come out of it and his wife licks it, even then she would not have fulfilled his right." Upon this, the girl said, "By the One Who has sent you with the truth, I will never marry." Then the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to her father, "Do not marry women without their permission."

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a woman passes away while her husband is pleased with her, she will enter Paradise."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman came to the service of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of a husband over his wife?" The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم replied, "The right of the husband is that the wife should not refuse herself to him even if she is sitting at the millstone." The woman then asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of a husband over his wife?" The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم replied, "She should not give anything from his house in charity without his permission. If she does so, the husband will get the reward and the wife will bear the sin." The woman again asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of a husband over his wife?" The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم replied, "A woman should not leave the house without her husband's permission. If she does so, Allah's angels, the angels of mercy, and the angels of wrath curse her until she repents or returns." The woman asked, "Even if her husband is oppressive?" The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم replied, "Yes, even if he is oppressive." Then the woman said, "By the One Who has sent you with the truth, after today I will not give anyone authority over my matter," meaning she would not marry.

Hazrat Husain bin Mihsan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that my paternal aunt came to the service of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم for some need. When her need was fulfilled, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked, "Do you have a husband?" She replied, "Yes." The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked, "How do you treat him?" She said, "I always try to do good to him, except for what is beyond my ability." The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said, "Be mindful! He is your Paradise and he is your Hell."

When Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) returned from Yemen, he submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! We saw a people who used to prostrate to one another. Should we not prostrate to you as well?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "No, none may be prostrated to except Allah. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands."

It is narrated similarly through another chain.
