It is narrated from Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What right does our wife have over us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When you eat, feed her as well; when you clothe yourself, clothe her as well; do not strike her on the face; do not abuse her; and if you separate from her, do so only within the house."
