[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Mu'adh to Sham (Syria). When he arrived, Mu'adh said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have seen the People of the Book prostrating to their bishops and monks. Shouldn't we prostrate to you?" The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , replied, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone else, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband. And a wife does not fulfill her husband's rights even if he asks her while she is on the back of a camel."
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الشَّامِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ وَبَطَارِقَتِهِمْ أَلَا نَسْجُدُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلَا تُؤَدِّي الْمَرْأَةُ حَقَّ زَوْجِهَا حَتَّى لَوْ سَأَلَهَا نَفْسَهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَتَبٍ أَعْطَتْهُ»
