A Virtuous Woman is the Root of Piety and Abstinence

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (Radhiyallahu anhu) said: “Marry a religious woman, no matter if in looks she may be a black slave girl.”

Hazrat Abu Umamah reports that if a Muslim acquires piety and abstinence, it is due to a virtuous wife. If she is given an order she carries it out, if the husband looks at her she pleases him, if the husband takes a vow on her behalf she fulfils the vow, and when the husband goes on a journey she guards her person and her husband’s wealth. (Ibn Maaja, Mishkaat)
