A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ while we were with him. She said: Messenger of Allah, my husband, Safwan ibn al-Mu'attal, beats me when I pray, and makes me break my fast when I keep a fast, and he does not offer the dawn prayer until the sun rises. He asked Safwan, who was present, about what she had said. He replied: Messenger of Allah, as for her statement "he beats me when I pray", she recites two surahs (during prayer) and I have prohibited her (to do so). He (the Prophet) said: If one surah is recited (during prayer), that is sufficient for the people. (Safwan continued:) As regards her saying "he makes me break my fast," she dotes on fasting; I am a young man, I cannot restrain myself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on that day: A woman should not fast except with the permission of her husband. (Safwan said:) As for her statement that I do not pray until the sun rises, we are a people belonging to a class, and that (our profession of supplying water) is already known about us. We do not awake until the sun rises. He said: When you awake, offer your prayer.  

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ زَوْجِي صَفْوَانَ بْنَ الْمُعَطَّلِ يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ وَيُفَطِّرُنِي إِذَا صُمْتُ وَلاَ يُصَلِّي صَلاَةَ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ وَصَفْوَانُ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَمَّا قَالَتْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ فَإِنَّهَا تَقْرَأُ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَقَدْ نَهَيْتُهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَتْ سُورَةً وَاحِدَةً لَكَفَتِ النَّاسَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يُفَطِّرُنِي فَإِنَّهَا تَنْطَلِقُ فَتَصُومُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ فَلاَ أَصْبِرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ لاَ تَصُومُ امْرَأَةٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا إِنِّي لاَ أُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ قَدْ عُرِفَ لَنَا ذَاكَ لاَ نَكَادُ نَسْتَيْقِظُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظْتَ فَصَلِّ  

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, Safwan ibn Muattal breaks my fasts and strikes me when I pray, and he does not pray Fajr until the sun rises." The Prophet ﷺ sent for Safwan and asked him, "What do you say about this?" Safwan replied, "Regarding her statement that I break her fasts, I am a young man and I have prohibited her from fasting." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ on that day forbade a woman from fasting without her husband's permission. Safwan continued, "Regarding her statement that I strike her during prayer, she recites two Surahs in a manner that distracts me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If people were to hear her recitation, it would not harm you." Safwan further explained, "Regarding her statement that I do not pray until the sun rises, I have a heavy head and I am from a family known for their heavy heads." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If that is the case, then separate from each other."  

جَاءَتْ امْرَأَةُ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُعَطَّلٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ إِنَّ صَفْوَانَ يُفَطِّرُنِي إِذَا صُمْتُ وَيَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ وَلَا يُصَلِّي الْغَدَاةَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا تَقُولُ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يُفَطِّرُنِي فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ وَقَدْ نَهَيْتُهَا أَنْ تَصُومَ قَالَ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَصُومَ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا قَالَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا إِنِّي أَضْرِبُهَا عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهَا تَقْرَأُ بِسُورَتَيْنِ فَتُعَطِّلُنِي قَالَ لَوْ قَرَأَهَا النَّاسُ مَا ضَرَّكَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا إِنِّي لَا أُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنِّي ثَقِيلُ الرَّأْسِ وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يُعْرَفُونَ بِذَاكَ بِثِقَلِ الرُّءُوسِ قَالَ فَإِذَا قُمْتَفَصَلِّ
