Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zam’ah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advising men regarding the rights of women. In the midst of this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why does one of you beat his wife as he beats a slave, then perhaps at the end of the day or the end of the night he will have to be intimate with her.
