Commentary
'I detest Kufr after becoming Muslim': Meaning she did not like him and was afraid she might not show him the respect due to a husband. Kufr, translated unbelief, can also mean ingratitude. To abhor the husband while residing in his house, to quarrel with him, and to displease him are deeds which are all prohibited in Islam. Conversely, they are the deeds of Kufr. But Kufr also means ingratitude toward the husband. Ingratitude is also called Kufr in the Arabic language.
