It is narrated from Sayyiduna Iyas bin Abdullah bin Abi Dhubab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not strike the female servants of Allah (women)." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, the women have become emboldened against their husbands." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave permission to strike them (by way of discipline). After that, many women gathered around the household of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), complaining about their husbands. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Many women have gathered around the household of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), complaining about their husbands. (Remember,) those men (who beat their wives) are not the best among you." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Kulthum bint Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), he said to her: "I have sent some uqiyahs of musk and a hullah (garment) as a gift to the Negus (al-Najashi), and I think he has already died, and I expect that the gift I sent will be returned. So if it comes back to me, it will be yours (or: for all of you)." And it happened just as he (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: the Negus died, and when the gift was returned to him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave each of his pure wives one uqiyah of that musk, and gave the rest of the musk and the hullah to Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her). This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his daughter and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this daughter of mine refuses to marry." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the girl: "Obey your father." She said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, I will not marry until you tell me what right a husband has over his wife." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The right of a husband over his wife is such that if he had a wound (or boil) on his body and she were to lick it, even then she would not have fulfilled his right." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
