DO NOT STRIKE YOUR WIFE ON THE FACE

278

“Mu'awiah asked the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ‘What are the rights of a wife from her husband?’ He replied: ‘Feed her when you feed yourself; clothe her when you clothe yourself, do not strike her on the face, do not abuse her and do not abandon her except inside the house.’”

Abu Daud with a chain up to Mu'awiah son of Haidah who related this.
