2146. Iyās bin ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Dhūbāb narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not hit the maid-servants (the women) of Allāh." So ‘Umar came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "The women have become rebellious against their husbands." So he permitted them to hit them, and many women then visited the wives of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, complaining about their husbands. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Many women have come to the wives of Muḥammad complaining against their husbands; these men are not the best of you." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
