[Machine] "He came to Sham (Syria) and saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops, priests, and monks. He also saw the Jews prostrating to their rabbis and scholars. He asked, 'What is it that you are doing?' They replied, 'This is how we greet the prophets, may peace be upon them.' He said, 'We are more deserving of doing this for our Prophet.' The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, 'They have lied about their prophets just as they have distorted their scriptures. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have ordered the wife to prostrate to her husband, due to his great right upon her. A woman cannot attain true faith until she fulfills the rights of her husband, even if he asks of her (whatever he wants) while she is on the back of a camel.'"
أَنَّهُ أَتَى الشَّامَ فَرَأَى النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ وَقِسِّيسِيهِمْ وَبَطَارِقَتِهِمْ وَرَأَى الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَحْبَارِهِمْ وَرُهْبَانِهِمْ وَرُبَّانِيهِمْ وَعُلَمَائِهِمْ وَفُقَهَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا هَذِهِ تَحِيَّةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ قُلْتُ فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَصْنَعَ بِنَبِيِّنَا فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهُ ﷺ «إِنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ كَمَا حَرَّفُوا كِتَابَهُمْ لَوْ أَمَرْتُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا مِنْ عَظِيمِ حَقِّهِ عَلَيْهَا وَلَا تَجِدُ امْرَأَةٌ حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا وَلَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا وَهِيَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ»
