Kindness with wife

Admonishing Strict Men

God's Prophet(MGB) said: مَن ضَرَبَ امْرَأةً بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ فأنا خَصْمُهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ. لا تَضْرِبوا نِسائَكُم، فَمَنْ ضَرَبَها بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ فَقَد

عَصى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ.

On the Resurrection Day I am the enemy of any man who unduly beats his wife. Do not beat your wives. Thus whoever unduly beats his wife has surely rebelled against God and His Prophet.[1]

God's Prophet (MGB) said:

لَيسَ مِنّا مَن وُسِعَ عَلَيهِ ثُمَّ قَتَرَ عَلى عِيالِهِ.

"Whoever is affluent but is stingy with his wife does not belong to our nation."[2]

Improving the Spouse's Living Conditions

It has been narrated that Imam Sajj¡d (MGB) said:

أرْضاكُم عِندَ اللهِ أوْسَعُكُم عَلى عِيالِهِ.

"Whoever makes the most improvements in his spouse's living conditions will be the most pleased one near God."[3]

Imam Reza (MGB) said:

يَنْبَغي لِلرَّجُلِ أنْ يُوسِعَ عَلى عِيالِهِ لِئَلاّ يَتَمَنَّوا مَوتَهُ.

"It is best for a man to make so many improvements in the living conditions of his wife that she never wishes him to die."[4]
