عن أبی ہریرۃ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ قال قیل لرسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم: أی النساء خیر؟ قال التی تسرہ إذا نظر، وتطیعہ إذا أمر، ولا تخالفہ فی نفسہا ولا مالہا بما یکرہ." (مشکوٰۃ ص ۲۸۳)
"Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked: Which woman is the best? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The woman who pleases her husband when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands her, and does not disobey him in matters of her own self or his wealth in ways that he dislikes."
(Mishkat p. 283, Tanqih j. 2 p. 217)
Benefit: The meaning is that she should be so cheerful and good-natured that when the husband comes home and meets and talks to his wife, he is not annoyed by her, but rather she talks to him with a smile of love. If he comes home with a troubled mind, she should make him happy with her good behavior and good manners. It should not be that she is always made up and dressed up, and piles up past stories and complaints on her husband, ignites the fire of escape, makes the night's melody into a mountain, based on hypocritical adornment, lies, and shamelessness, and disturbs his mind with gossip she has heard from here and there.
Indeed, some women are such that as soon as the husband enters the house, they pile up complaints in front of him, "This person did this to us, the sister-in-law did this, the sister-in-law did that." As a result, the husband becomes upset by the woman's sweet trickery and, opposing his mother and sister, establishes a long series of fights and quarrels. Such a woman does not please her husband! She is the one who throws him into hell because she has saddened him instead of pleasing him. So listen! O good-natured one, please him with your sweet talk, do not sadden him by making complaints, and do not cause him to panic. You will find good, intelligent bravery and paradise in the sight of God.
