English translation

2143. It was reported from Bahz bin Ḥakīm, from his father, from his grandfather, that he asked: "O Messenger of Allāh! Regarding our wives — what can we do with them, and what should we leave?" He replied: "Go to your field as and when you please. And feed her when you eat, and clothe her when you wear clothes. And do not disgrace her face, nor hit her." (Ḥasan)

Arabic text

2143 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، نِسَاؤُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهُنَّ وَمَا نَذَرُ، قَالَ: «ائْتِ حَرْثَكَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ، وَأَطْعِمْهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ، وَاكْسُهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ، وَلَا تُقَبِّحِ الْوَجْهَ، وَلَا تَضْرِبْ». قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَى شُعْبَةُ «تُطْعِمُهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَتَكْسُوهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ»
