51. Companionship of Women
٥١۔ كِتَابُ عِشْرَةِ النِّسَاءِ
[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should we approach our women or should we stay away from them?" He replied, "Approach them however you want, as long as you do not make them ugly, do not beat them, feed them when you eat, provide them with clothing when you cloth yourself, and do not abandon them except in their homes. How can one of you go to another except in a way that is permissible for him?"
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نِسَاؤُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا أَمْ مَا نَدَعُ؟ قَالَ «حَرْثُكَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ غَيْرَ أَنْ لَا تُقَبِّحَ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تَضْرِبَ وَأَطْعِمْهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَاكْسُهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ وَلَا تَهْجُرْهَا إِلَّا فِي بَيْتِهَا كَيْفَ وَقَدْ أَفْضَى بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ إِلَّا بِمَا حَلَّ عَلَيْهَا»
