Hadith.4513 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Malik ibn Atiyyah, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said:
A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is the right of a husband over his wife?"
Imam (as) said: "She must obey him and not disobey him. She must not give anything in charity from his house except with his permission, and she must not observe voluntary fasting except with his permission. She must not deny him herself, even if she is on the back of a camel. She must not leave her house without his permission. If she leaves without his permission, the angels of the heavens, the angels of the earth, the angels of wrath, and the angels of mercy will curse her until she returns to her house."
She then asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), who has the greatest right over a man?"
He (sw) said: "His parents."
She asked: "And who has the greatest right over a woman?"
He (sw) said: "Her husband."
She then asked: "Do I have the same right over him as he has over me?"
He (sw) replied: "No, not even one out of a hundred."
She said: "By the One who sent you as a Prophet with truth, no man will ever have control over my neck!"
