Bahz bin Hakim narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that he said: O Messenger of Allah! These are our wives, what dealings with them are permissible for us and what are not permissible? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are your fields, so come to your field as you wish, but do not strike her on the face, nor speak to her with hateful words. (If angry) only leave her in the house. When you eat, feed her as well, and when you dress, clothe her as well. Now how will you not fulfill these rights, while you have already had intercourse with each other, except if a situation arises in which the wife may be punished (or her rights may be reduced).
