Arabic text

٣٦٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحَرِّجُ حَقَّ الضَّعِيفَيْنِ: الْيَتِيمِ، وَالْمَرْأَةِ "

Commentary

a. An orphan needs his guardian to fulfill his necessities. He can not demand or force his guardian to agree to his demands as a child usually does with his own father. So, his requirements should be fulfilled without his request. b. A woman is generally subject to her husband morally, legally and Islamically. She prefers to live in the house of her husband even if he does not fulfill her rights for the sake of her children, or due to her love for husband. Therefore, a husband should avoid exploiting her weakness and should fulfill her rights in a good manner.
