Hakeem bin Muaaviyah (r.a) narrates from his father that he asked Rasulullah (s.a.w) about the rights of wives against their husbands. He replied:
Hazrat Abdullah bin Zamah (r.a) narrates that Rasulullah (s.a.w) said: “None of you should beat his wife as though he is beating his slave, then at the end of the day he has intercourse with her!” (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi)
In another Hadith Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (r.a) narrates that Rasulullah (s.a.w) said: “I advise you to maintain a favourable relationship with your women. Accept this advice from me because women were created from a crooked rib. If you endeavour to straighten her, you will break her and breaking her is divorcing her and if you leave her as she is, she will always remain crooked. Therefore, accept this good advice in favour of them. (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi).
