Characteristics of a Pious Wife

A pious woman's priority is to seek the pleasure of Allah . She tries
acquiring the qualities of a good wife by following the examples of
the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhiwassallam) and obeying what is commanded
in the Book of Allah. Complete obedience and adherence to the Sunnahof
the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and Quran is the best of a
woman's qualities.
Examples:
A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth , for her fame,
for her beauty and for her religion. So marry one for her religion and
you will win. [Bukhari & Muslim]
Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to
their husbands) and guard in their husband's absence what Allah orders
them to guard (e.g. their honor, husbands property, etc) [4:34]
An-Nasaii narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) was
asked "Who are the best of women?" He replied, "The one who pleases
him (her husband) if he looks at her, obeys him if he orders (her) and
does not subject her honor or money to what he dislikes."
Ibn Hibban narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)
said, "If a woman prayed five prayers, fasted in Ramadan , protected
her honor and obeyed her husband; then she will betold (on the Day of
Judgment): enter Paradise from any of its(eight) doors."
Reflect on:
If a woman harms (in anyway) her husband, then his wife in Paradise
tells her: "Do not harm him, May Allah fight you, he is only staying
temporarily with you. Soon he will come to us." [Ahmad & At-Tirmithi]
If a man calls his wife to bed and she refuses till he slept while
angry, then the Angels will curseher till the morning. [Muslim]
Allah does not look to thewoman who does not appreciate her husband
while she cannot stand his departing her. [An-Nasaii].
A woman does not fast while her husband is present without his
permission, except in Ramadan. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Any woman who asks herhusband for divorce for no reason will not smell
the fragrance of Paradise. [Sahih Al-Jamii]
The Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "If I were to order
anyone to bow down to other than Allah, I would order the wife to do
so for her husband. By the One who owns the soul of Muhammad ,if a
wife does not fulfill her obligations towards her husband, then she
will not have fulfilled her obligations towards Allah." [Ahmad]
