[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is not right for a human being to prostrate to another human being. Even if it were right for a human being to prostrate to another human being, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands because of their great rights over them."

الكبرى للنسائي:٩١٠٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنُ مَالِجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ حفص ابْنِ أَخِي أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَصْلُحُ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ وَلَوْ صَلَحَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا مِنْ عِظَمِ حَقِّهِ عَلَيْهَا»

"لا يَصْلُحُ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ، وَلَوْ صَلَحَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ بَشَرٌ لِبَشَرٍ لأَمَرْتُ المَرْأَةَ أنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا مِنَ عِظَمِ حَقِّهِ عَلَيهَا، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أن مِنْ قَدَمِهِ إِلَى مَفْرقِ رَأسِهِ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَ بِالْقَيْحِ وَالصَّدِيدِ ثُمَّ أقْبَلتْ تَلحَسُهُ مَا أَدَّتْ حَقَّهُ".
