A woman asks about women’s reward

[AI] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ who was called Linah, and she said: O Messenger of Allah! I am the delegate of the women to you. No woman who hears my statement until the Day of Resurrection will fail to be pleased by it. Allah is the Lord of men and women, Adam is the father of men and women, and Hawwa is the mother of men and women. Allah has prescribed jihad for men: if they are martyred, they are alive with their Lord, provided for; if they die, their reward falls upon Allah; and if they return, Allah rewards them. As for us women, we tend to the sick and treat the wounded, so what reward do we have?

He said: "O delegate of the women! Obedience to the husband and acknowledging his right is equal to all of that."

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلِى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ يُقَال لَهَا: لينَةُ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! أَنَا وَافِدَةُ النِّسَاءِ إِلَيْكَ، مَا مِنْ امْرَأَةٍ تَسْمَعُ مَقَالَتِى إِلَى يَوْمِ القيَامَةِ إِلا سَرَّهَا ذَلِكَ، الله رَبُّ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، وآدَم ابُو الرِّجَال وَالنِّسَاءِ، وَحَوَّاءُ أُمُّ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ، كَتَبَ الله الجِهَادَ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ، فَإِنِ اسْتُشْهِدُوا كَانُوا أحياءً عِنْدَ ربِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ، وَإِنْ مَاتُوا وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ، وَإِنْ رَجَعُوا آجَرَهُمُ الله، وَنَحْنُ - النِّسَاءَ - نَقُومُ عَلَى المَرْضَى، وَنُدَاوِى الجَرْحَى فَمَا لَنَا مِنَ الأَجرِ؟

فَقَالَ: «يَا وَافِدةَ النِّسَاءِ! إِنَّ طَاعَةَ الزَّوْج وَالاعْتِرَافَ بِحَقِّهِ يَعْدِلُ ذَلِكَ كلَّهُ».
