Women came to him (the Messenger of Allah) asking about their people who were killed. One woman came to him (the Messenger of Allah) and asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what did so and so do ? 5 He (the Messenger of Allah) asked, ‘What is your relation with him?’ She replied, ‘He is my father.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘You should thank Allah and ask for your happy return to Allah; he became a martyr.’ She then did as he (the Messenger of Allah) had told her to do. Then she asked, ‘What did so and so do, O Messenger of Allah?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) asked, ‘What is your relation with him?’ She replied, ‘He is my brother.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘You should thank Allah and ask for your happy return to Allah; he became a martyr.’ She then did as he (the Messenger of Allah) had told her to do. She then asked, ‘What did so and so do, O Messenger of Allah?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) asked, ‘What is your relation with him?’ She replied, ‘He is my husband.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘You should thank Allah and ask for your happy return to Allah, he became a martyr.’ She then said, ‘Woe and wretchedness is upon me!’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘I did not think women have this much (loving feeling) for their husbands until I saw this woman.’”
2- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لابْنَةِ جَحْشٍ قُتِلَ خَالُكِ حَمْزَةُ قَالَ فَاسْتَرْجَعَتْ وَقَالَتْ أَحْتَسِبُهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا قُتِلَ أَخُوكِ فَاسْتَرْجَعَتْ وَقَالَتْ أَحْتَسِبُهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا قُتِلَ زَوْجُكِ فَوَضَعَتْ يَدَهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَصَرَخَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَا يَعْدِلُ الزَّوْجَ عِنْدَ الْمَرْأَةِ شَيْءٌ.
2.

The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘Nothing for a woman is equal to her husband.’”

She must not give charity from his house without his permission and must not fast optionally without his permission. If she goes out of his house without his permission, the angels of skies and earth condemn her as well the angels of wrath and angels of mercy until she returns to her home.’ She then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, who has the greatest right on a man?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘His father has the greatest right.’ She then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, who has the greatest right on a woman?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘Her husband has the greatest right on her.’ She then asked, ‘How is it that I do not have as much right on him as he has on me?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘No, not even one out of one hundred.’ She then said, ‘I swear by the One who has sent you as a prophet in all truth; I will never allow any man to have a hold of my neck.’”
