A woman came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, while we were with him, and she said, O Messenger of God, my husband Safwan bin Al-Mu’tal beats me when I pray and breaks my fast when I fast, and does not pray the dawn prayer until the sun rises. He said, Safwan is with him. He said, so he asked him what she said, and he said, O Messenger of God, as for her saying, “He beats me when I pray,” she recites two surahs, and I forbade her. He said, “If it were one surah, it would be enough for the people.” As for her saying, “It breaks my fast,” she starts fasting, and I am a young man, so I cannot be patient. So the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said. On that day, a woman would not fast except with her husband’s permission. As for her saying, “I do not pray until the sun rises,” we are a household that has been known to us. We hardly wake up until the sun rises. He said, “So if I wake up, pray.”
جاءت امرأة إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن عنده فقالت يا رسول الله إن زوجي صفوان بن المعطل يضربني إذا صليت ويفطرني إذا صمت ولا يصلي صلاة الفجر حتى تطلع الشمس قال وصفوان عنده قال فسأله عما قالت فقال يا رسول الله أما قولها يضربني إذا صليت فإنها تقرأ بسورتين وقد نهيتها قال فقال لو كانت سورة واحدة لكفت الناس وأما قولها يفطرني فإنها تنطلق فتصوم وأنا رجل شاب فلا أصبر فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يومئذ لا تصوم امرأة إلا بإذن زوجها وأما قولها إني لا أصلي حتى تطلع الشمس فإنا أهل بيت قد عرف لنا ذاك لا نكاد نستيقظ حتى تطلع الشمس قال فإذا استيقظت فصلي
She was wearing a green veil, so she complained to her and saw that her skin was green. When the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, came and the women helped each other, Aisha said, “I have not seen anything like what is done to believing women because her skin is greener than her dress.” He said, “And he heard that she had come to the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and he came with two sons of his from another woman.” She said, “By God, I have no fault with him except that with him, he is no better off than me in this.” And she took a fringe from her dress, so he said. You have lied, by God, O Messenger of God. I will shake it off as I shake it off, but it is defiant and wants to be raised. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “If that is the case, then you will not sweeten it for him or you will not make it good for him until he tastes of your honey.” He said, and he saw two sons of his with him, and he said, “These are your sons.” He said, “Yes.” He said, “This is what you claim as you claim. By God, to them, it is more like a crow to a crow.”
وعليها خمار أخضر فشكت إليها وآرتها خضرة بجلدها فلما جاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والنساء ينصر بعضهن بعضا قالت عائشة ما رأيت مثل ما يلقى المؤمنات لجلدها أشد خضرة من ثوبها قال وسمع أنها قد أتت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاء ومعه ابنان له من غيرها قالت والله ما لي إليه من ذنب إلا أنما معه ليس بأغنى عني من هذه وأخذت هدبة من ثوبها فقال كذبت والله يا رسول الله إني لأنفضها نفضى الأديم ولكنها ناشز تريد رفاعة فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فإن كان ذلك لم تحلي له أو لم تصلحي له حتى يذوق من عسيلتك قال وأبصر معه ابنين له فقال بنوك هؤلاء قال نعم قال هذا الذي تزعمين ما تزعمين فوالله لهم أشبه به من الغراب بالغراب

Learn the master of forgiveness
تعلموا سيد الاستغفار
The master of seeking forgiveness is to say, O God, You are my Lord, there is no god but You, You created me, and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your grace upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for no one forgives sins except You.
سيد الاستغفار أن تقول اللهم أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت خلقتني وأنا عبدك وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي وأبوء بذنبي فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت

فأهدي وامكث حراماً كما أنت

أحلوا وأصيبوا من النساء
We set off to our destination and one of us mentioned dripping
ننطلق إلى منا وذكر أحدنا يقطر
I have heard that people say such-and-such, by God, because I am more righteous and God-fearing than them. If I had forwarded my affairs, I would not have looked back, I would not have been guided, and if I had not had the sacrificial animal with me, I would have been permitted to do so.
