[Machine] Twelve of them left their father in their house, the youngest of them who had gathered his beard. So, she stood up and greeted Mu'adh and two men from her sons holding her finger and she said, "Who sent you, O man?" Mu'adh said to her, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent me." The woman said, "The Messenger of Allah sent you and you are the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah? Won't you tell me, O Messenger of the Messenger of Allah, the rights of a man upon his wife?" Mu'adh said, "She should fear Allah as much as she can, and she should listen and obey." The woman said, "I swear by Allah, I will insist that you tell me the rights of a man upon his wife." So, Mu'adh said to her, "Didn't you agree to listen and obey and fear Allah?" She said, "Yes, but I left an old man as a sheikh in the house." Mu'adh said, "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Mu'adh, if you return to him and find leprosy has pierced his flesh and has come out of his nostrils, and you find his nostrils running with pus and blood, then throw them (the rights of a man upon his wife) into the basket so that you may fulfill his rights as you did before."

[Machine] Mu'adh came to them from Yemen, and a woman from Khawlān met him with her twelve children. She left their father at home, the youngest of whom had been breastfeeding, and she greeted Mu'adh and two men from her sons were holding onto her garment. She asked him, "Who sent you, O man?" Mu'adh replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me." The woman said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent you and you are the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? Why don't you inform me, O messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" So Mu'adh said, "Ask me whatever you wish." She asked, "Tell me about the rights of a man over his wife?" Mu'adh said, "Fear Allah as much as you can, listen and obey." She said, "By Allah, I vowed that you would inform me about the rights of a man over his wife." Mu'adh said, "Even if you were to hear and obey and fear Allah?" She replied, "Yes, but tell me about the rights of a man over his wife. For I have left my father, an elderly man, at home." Mu'adh said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Mu'adh, if you were to return and find him with leprosy, with his flesh and the tips of his fingers oozing pus and blood, you would still lick them to fulfill his rights upon you."
