Hadith on marriage:
The Messenger of Allah Muhammad (SAW) said many
Hadith on marriage, and we are here to talk about one of
them.
عن أبي هریرة رضي االله عنه: قال النبي صلى االله علیه وسلم: “تنكح المرأة لأربع
لمالها ولحسبها ولجمالها ولدینها فاظفر بذات الدین تربت یداك”
The transliteration of this Hadith is:
“Tonkah al maar’ah liarba’, lemaleha, walehasabeha, wa
legamaleha, wa ledeneha, fadhfar bedhateldhain taribat
yadak.”
The translation of this Hadith is:
“A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her
family status, her beauty and her religion. You should
marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a loser.
“(Bukhari)
Simple explanation of the Hadith:
This Hadith is narrated by Bukhari and Musliam, and it
means that some people love women for their best
qualities such as, being beautiful, family status, being rich,
and being religious.
These qualities are the best, but it is obligatory for
religious men to choose their wifes due to their religiosity.
The beloved Prophet (SAW) has advised His nation, and
assured them of the necessity of choosing religious wives
more than beautiful.
If they don’t respond to the Messenger’s advice, they will
suffer from severe poverty.
If we talk about Hadith on Marriage, we have to learn this
great Hadith.
Allah Almighty and His Messenger Muhammad (SAW)
only can give us correct, and reliable future information.
The wife must obey her husband:
Every wife must obey her husband as long as he doesn’t
ask her to do anything that makes Allah angry.
This is also one of the Prophet’s great advice after their
wedding.
What should we avoid?
After marriage, the wife has to obey her husband, and
avoid controversy, and discord.
They must follow the rules of Islam and avoid mixing men
and women.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammed (SAW) has advised us
to follow Islam rules, and confirmed this by saying thids
Hadith:
“Whoever resembles a people is one of them. ” (Abu
Dawood).
Muslims must follow Islam, obey Allah, and His
Messenger (SAW).
Finally, we have to say that marriage is the basic rule, and
the infrastructure of life.
