Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a woman said to him: "My husband is very devout in worship, but I do not love him. Should I seek khul‘ (divorce)?" He replied: "No. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'A woman who seeks to be separated and a woman who causes separation are hypocrites.'" The woman asked again, and he repeated the same hadith. So she said: "By Allah! I will be patient." Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I did not think that any woman would be so patient despite dislike, until the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached her."
