[Machine] Sham saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops and their priests, so he thought to himself that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more deserving to be honored. When he arrived, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops and priests, so I thought to myself that you are more deserving to be honored." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. And no woman fulfills her duty to Allah (SWT) completely until she fulfills her duty to her husband completely. Even if he asks for herself while she is on the back of a camel, she should give it to him."
الشَّامَ فَرَأَى النَّصَارَى تَسْجُدُ لِبَطَارِقَتِهَا وَأَسَاقِفَتِهَا فَرَوَّى فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُعَظَّمَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ النَّصَارَى تَسْجُدُ لِبَطَارِقَتِهَا وَأَسَاقِفَتِهَا فَرَوَّأْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّكَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُعَظَّمَ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ آمُرُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَا تُؤَدِّي الْمَرْأَةُ حَقَّ اللهِ ﷻ عَلَيْهَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا عَلَيْهَا كُلَّهُ حَتَّى لَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا وَهِيَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ لَأَعْطَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ
