Hadith 135

Al Kafi – The number, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim Al Hazramy, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘In the era of Rasool-Allah-saww, a man from the Helpers went out regarding one of his needs, so he pledged from his wife a pledge that she would not go out from her house until he comes back. He-asws said: ‘And her father was ill, so the woman sent a message to the Prophet-saww saying, ‘My husband went out and placed a pledge upon me that I shall not go out from my house until he comes back, and that my father has become sick, therefore instruct me that I can aid him’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘No! Sit in your house, and obey your husband’. He-asws said: ‘It was difficult (upon her), so she sent a message to him for a second time with that saying, ‘If you-saww were to order me, I could aid him’. He-saww said: ’ Sit in your house and obey your husband’. He-asws said: ‘Her father died, and she sent a message to him-saww, ‘My father has died, so if you-saww order me that I can pray Salat over him’. He-saww said: ‘No, sit in your house and obey your husband’. He-asws said: ‘The man was buried, and Rasool-Allah-saww sent a message to her: ‘Allah-azwj has Forgiven you and your father due to your obedience to your husband’’. [137]
