Do not obey them even in good things so that they may not attract you to evils.

Do not obey them even in good things so that they may not attract you to evils.”[^7] Wife And Husband Helping Each Other Imam Sadiq (AS) said: “Ameerul Mo’minin (AS) used to collect firewood, took out water of the well, and sweep (the house) while Lady Fatima milled the wheat, kneaded the flour and baked bread.”[^8] The Messenger of Allah (SAW) has been reported by Imam Ali (AS) as saying: “One who has the following four features will have the good of this life and the afterlife; piety that keeps him away from prohibitions, good temperament with which he lives among people, forbearance which wards off the ignorance of an ignorant person, and a good wife who assists him in the affairs of this world and the hereafter.”[^9] Imam Sadiq (AS) said: “Any woman who satisfies her husband with a glass of water will have the reward of devotion of one year (fasting the days and keeping vigil the nights in worshipping).

God will build her a town in paradise and will forgive sixty sins of her.”[^10] About Imam Sadiq (AS), it is reported: “He sewed his clothes, mended his shoes, and worked outside home like other men.”[^11] Mutual Respect Imam Sadiq (AS) said: “A group of people came to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah!

We have seen people who prostrate before each other.’ The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: ‘If I would give an order to people to prostrate before each other, I would order women to prostrate before their husbands.”[^12] Imam Musa Ibn Ja’far (AS) said: “The Jihad of woman is to take care of her husband.”[^13] Imam Sadiq (AS) has reported his father as saying: “One, who gets married, should honor his wife and should not annoy her.”[^14] To Avoid Bothering Each Other The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Every wife who vexes her husband, God will not accept her prayer and her good deeds unless her husband is pleased with her, even if she fasts all her life, spends all nights worshipping, sets slaves free and spends her wealth in the way of Allah.

She will be the first to enter the fire.” The Holy Prophet (SAW) then said: “The same is true about a man who vexes his wife or does injustice to her.”[^15] To Be Tolerant The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Whoever tolerates his wife’s bad temper for the sake of God, God will reward him as the reward of (Prophet) Ayyub (Job) for his patience with afflictions. The wife too should discharge her duties properly.
