Hazrat Huzaifa (Radiyallahu Anhu) narrates: “One night during the battle of the trench it was unusually dark and windy, to the extent that a person was unable to see his own hand. The munafiqeen were returning to their homes. We were about three hundred men sticking to our post. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) approached every one of us and enquired about his welfare. I did not have much weaponry to defend myself against the enemy nor did I have sufficient clothing to guard myself against the cold. I only had one small sheet which was lent to me by my wife. I wrapped it around myself and sat with my knees clinging to the ground.
When Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) passed me he asked: “Who are you?” I replied: “Huzaifa!” I could not stand due to the cold hence I clung to the ground with shame. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Huzaifa! Stand up and bring us some information from the enemy camp.” Of all the Sahabah (Radiyallahu anhum) I was the most ill-equipped, but as soon as I got the order I stood up and left immediately. As I was going, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) made dua for me saying: “O Allah! Guard and protect him from every direction”. Huzaifa (radaiyallahu anhu) says: “By Allah! Immediately after this dua, I was completely relieved of my fear and cold. I now felt as though I was walking in a surrounding which was warm and conducive.”

Advice to Wives - Part 1

1. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “The woman who offers her five times salaah, fasts in the month of Ramadaan, protects her honour and obeys her husband, has the choice of entering Jannah from whichever door she wishes to enter from” (Ibnu Hibbaan #4163).
2. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “The woman who passes away in such a state that her husband is happy with her will enter Jannah” (Tirmizi #1161).
3. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) also said: “If I were to command any person to prostrate to anyone besides Allah Ta’ala, I would have commanded the woman to prostrate to her husband. If the husband orders the wife to carry the boulders of one mountain to the next and then to a third, she should do so” (Ibnu Maajah #1852).
Obedience:
- Obey your husband in all permissible matters. This will draw the mercy of Allah Ta’ala. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “After the Taqwa (fear) of Allah Ta’ala, there is no favour that a believer may enjoy better than a pious wife. If he instructs her she obeys him, if he looks towards her, she brings delight to him, if he takes an oath for her to do something she carries it out and if he is away from her (on a journey, etc.) she acts in good faith regarding her personal self and his wealth” (Ibnu Maajah #1857).

Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "The best amongst you are those who are best towards their wives, and I am the best to my wives" (Tirmizi #4651).
Entering and leaving the home:
- When leaving home in the morning, make a point of kissing your wife and don't leave without salaam. (NB: Any act of intimacy, no matter how small, must NEVER be done in the presence of children, even if they are not of a discerning age.)
- When entering the home, always make salaam cheerfully, no matter how difficult your day may have been. Salaam is a means of engendering great love and happiness in the home. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) advised Anas (radiyallahu anhu) thus: “Oh my son! When you enter your home, make salaam to your family. It will be a means of blessings for you and for them” (Tirmizi #2698).

Qualities of a Believer
It is reported from Saeed bin Musayyab (Rahmatullahi Alayh), “Verily Allah Ta’ala is pure and loves purity, clean (from every blemish) and loves cleanliness, magnanimous and loves magnanimity, generous and loves generosity. So keep (everything, even including) your courtyards clean and do not resemble the Jews (in being untidy, mean natured and miserly)”.

Moulana Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri Sahib (rahmatullahi alaih) was seated on the madrasah cushion which is provided for the asaatizah to use whilst teaching. Someone approached him for some personal mashwara. At once he got up and sat at another spot. When he was asked about the reason for his moving, he replied: “The cushion has been provided by the madrasah for teaching and not for personal mashwaras. Through the caution of our Ulama, there was such barkat in their knowledge and their students, that it brightened up the entire world. (Discourse of Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi rahimahullah).
