SPOUSAL COMPLAINTS

280

“Do not beat the female worshipers of Allah. Some time later Omar came to him saying: ‘Our women have become very audacious towards their husbands.’ So he permitted them to be smacked. Thereafter a large number of women came to the wives of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with them, and complained against their husbands. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, announced: ‘Many women have come to my wives complaining against their husbands. Such men are not the best among of you!’”

Abu Daud with a chain up to Iyas son of Abdullah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, warned this.
