DO NOT STRIKE YOUR WIFE ON THE FACE H H 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.'" R 278 Abu Daud with a chain up to Mu'awiah son of Haidah who related this.
277- وعن معاوية بن حيدة رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُول الله ، مَا حق زَوجَةِ أَحَدِنَا عَلَيهِ ؟ قَالَ : "أنْ تُطْعِمَهَا إِذَا طعِمْتَ ، وَتَكْسُوهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ ، وَلاَ تَضْرِبِ الوَجْهَ ، وَلا تُقَبِّحْ ، وَلا تَهْجُرْ إلاَّ في البَيْتِ" حديثٌ حسنٌ رواه أَبُو داود وَقالَ : معنى" لا تُقَبِّحْ" أي : لا تقل : قبحكِ الله .
