Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the predecessors used to say that even if a woman were to lick her husband's nose because of leprosy, and as a result she died, even then she would not have fulfilled the right of her husband.

Hazrat Qasim bin Mukhaimara narrates that Hazrat Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) was put forward by his people to lead the prayer. He refused, but the people insisted and made him lead. When he finished leading the prayer, he said, "Are you all pleased with my leading the prayer?" The people replied, "Yes." Then he said, "All praise is due to Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the prayer of three people is not accepted: a woman who leaves her house without her husband's permission, a runaway slave, and a person who leads people in prayer while they dislike him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The prayers of three persons do not go above their ears until they repent: a runaway slave, a woman whose husband is displeased with her, and an imam whose followers are displeased with him.

Hazrat Zaid bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a woman should not observe a voluntary fast without her husband's permission.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that when a woman's husband is present, she should not observe a voluntary fast without his permission.

Hazrat Yahya bin Ja'dah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After Islam, the most beneficial thing for a Muslim is a beautiful woman whom, when a man looks at her, he becomes pleased; when he commands her, she obeys him; and when he is on a journey, she protects his wealth and honor.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after believing in Allah Almighty, no greater good has been granted to a man than a woman with good character, who is very loving and bears children. And after disbelief, no greater calamity has befallen a man than a wife with bad character and a sharp tongue. Some women are such blessings that one cannot be disinterested in them, and some women are such calamities that one cannot escape from them.

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abzi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the example of a righteous wife is like a crown adorned with gold on the head of a king, and the example of a bad wife of a righteous man is like a heavy burden on the back of an old man.

Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) says that there are three people who call out but no one listens to them. The first is the person who has entrusted his wealth to a foolish person; Allah Almighty says: Do not entrust your wealth to the foolish. The second is the man who has a bad-tempered woman in his marriage but neither divorces her nor separates from her. The third is the man whose right is due upon someone, but he has no witness with him.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Shall I not tell you about three calamities? One is a tyrant ruler: if you do good, he does not thank you, and if you make a mistake, he does not forgive you. The second is a bad neighbor: if he sees your good, he conceals it, and if he sees your bad, he spreads it. The third is a bad wife: if you are present, she angers you, and if you are absent, she betrays you.
