I recently came across some ahadeeth (narrations) that I had never
heard before. The subjects which they are talking about are very
important to me, so I would I appreciate it if you could kindly tell
me their status (if they are authentic). The ahadeeth are listed
below, Jazak Allah khair for your help:
1. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said;
"Homemaking (Allah-willing) raises the station of a woman to the level
of those who make Jihad " (Kanz)
2. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said:
"The birds in flight, the fish in the rivers, the angels in heaven and
the animals in the jungles seek repentance for the woman who is
obedient and submits to her husband."
3. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said: "O
women, the pious among you will enter Paradise before pious men. When
the husbands will enter Paradise, these women will be presented to
their husbands after being bathed and perfumed. These women will be on
red and yellow coloured conveyances accompanied by children (as
beautiful) as scattered pearls."
4. Addressing Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the nurse of
his son Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Does it not please any one
of you that if she conceives by her husband and he is satisfied with
her that she receives the reward of fasting and vigil for Allah's
sake. And none of the dwellers of Heaven or Earth know about the
coolness of her eyes (a unique repose) she will get for the labor
pains she suffered. When she delivers, not a mouthful of milk flows
from her and not an instance of the child's suck, but that she
receives for every suck and mouthful, the reward of a good deed. If
she is kept awake by her child during the night she receives the
reward of freeing seventy slaves for the sake of Allah." The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then said: "O Salamah do
you know which women are being referred to? Those who despite piety
and enjoying a respectable position, obey their husbands and do not
belittle them."

Praise be to Allah.
This hadeeth was narrated by Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him):
Salamah – the nurse of Ibraheem, the son of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) – said: O Messenger of Allah, you give
glad tidings of all good to the men and you do not give glad tidings
to women. He said: "Have your friends put you up to asking this?" She
said: Yes, they told me (to ask). He said: "Doesn't it please one of
you that if she is pregnant from her husband and he was pleased with
her, she will have a reward like that of one who fasts and prays qiyam
(night prayers) for the sake of Allah. When her labour starts, neither
the people of heaven nor the people of earth know what is hidden for
her of delight, and when she gives birth, not one drop of her milk
comes out and (her infant) does not suck once, but for each drop and
each suck she will have one hasanah (good deed), and if he keeps her
awake at night she will have a reward like that of freeing seventy
slaves for the sake of Allah? O Salamah, do you know who I mean by
this? It is the chaste and righteous women who are obedient to their
husbands, those who are not ungrateful for kind treatment."
Narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat (7/20); Abu Na'eem in
Mu'jam al-Sahabah (no. 7049); Ibn 'Asakir in Tareekh Dimashq (43/347);
Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Mawdoo'at (2/274) and others, via Hisham ibn
'Ammar; Abu 'Ammar ibn Nusayr told me, from 'Amr ibn Sa'eed
al-Khawlani, from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him).
Then al-Tabarani said: This hadeeth was not narrated from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) except via this isnad
(chain of transmission) in which Hisham ibn 'Ammar is the only one who
narrated it. End quote.
This is a fabricated and false hadeeth. Ibn Hibban ruled it to be
fabricated (mawdoo') in al-Majrooheen (2/34), as did Ibn al-Jawzi in
al-Mawdoo'aat (Bab Thawab al-Mar'ah idha hamalat wa wada'at, 2/273).
Al-Shaykh al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning it:
A fabricated hadeeth with clear signs of being fabricated. The problem
with the hadeeth is al-Khawlani. Al-Dhahabi said: He narrated
fabricated reports. Then he quoted this hadeeth. It was narrated by
Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Mawdoo'at (2/274) from the report of al-Tabarani in
al-Awsat, and he said: Ibn Hibban said: 'Amr ibn Sa'eed who narrated
this fabricated hadeeth from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): he
should not be quoted except by way of giving an example of a
fabricated hadeeth. Al-Suyooti agreed with him in al-La-ali' (2/175).
It was quoted via al-Khawlani by Ibn Mandah in al-Ma'rifah (2/329/2)
and also by al-Hasan ibn Sufyan in his Musnad, and also in al-Fayd.
End quote.
Al-Silsilah al-Da'eefah (no. 2055).
Anyone who wants to study the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him) hadeeth concerning the virtue of a woman obeying her
husband and looking after him should refer to the book by al-Imam
al-Mundhiri entitled al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb. In part three (p.31) he
has a chapter entitled Targheeb al-Zawj fi'l-Wafa' bi Haqq Zawjatihi
wa Husn 'Ashratiha, wa'l-Mar'ah bi Haqq Zawjiha wa Ta'atihi wa
Tarheebuha min Isqatihi wa Mukhalafatihi (Encouraging the husband to
fulfil his wife's rights and treat her kindly, and (encouraging) the
wife to fulfil her husband's rights and obey him, and warning her
against neglecting his rights and disobeying him).
In this chapter he compiled all the haadeeths that have to do with
this topic, most of which are saheeh (authentic), but some of them are
da'eef (weak). The one who wants to read only the reports which the
scholars classed as saheeh may read the book called Saheeh al-Targheeb
wa'l-Tarheeb by al-Shaykh al-Albani (2/193), and read the same chapter
from which the da'eef haadeeths have been excluded.
And Allah knows best.
'' Our Lord ! grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter and save us from the torment of the Fire '' [Ameen]
