Islamic Questions & Answers
I once read a hadith in an islamic forum but the reference for the hadith was
not mentioned. The hadith sounds beautiful but ill love to confirm it's
authenticity before i quote it to anyone. The hadith goes like this, the
Prophet(saw) said, " When one of youdoes her best to be a good wife. The reward
equals someone who is fasting all day and praying all night." I'll really
appreciate your help.
Praise be to Allah.
Perhaps you are referring to the report that was narrated by at-Tabaraani in
al-Mu'jam al-Awsat (6733), and Ibn 'Asaakir in his Tareekh (43/348), via 'Amr
ibn Sa'eed al-Khawlaani from Anas ibn Maalik, according to which Salaamah the
nurse of Ibraaheem, the son of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him), said: O Messenger of Allah, you give the men all kinds of glad tidings but
you do not give the women such glad tidings? He said: "Would it not please one
of you that if she is pregnant from her husband and he is pleased with her, that
she will have the reward of one who fasts and prays qiyaam for the sake of
Allah?..."
This hadeeth is fabricated. It was narrated by Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Mawdoo'aat
(2/274). He said:
Ibn Hibbaan said: 'Amr ibn Sa'eed is the one who narrated this fabricated
hadeeth from Anas; it is not permissible to quote it except by way of
highlighting an example of a fabricated hadeeth. And as-Suyooti agreed with him
in al-La'aali', 2/175
End quote. Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth ad-Da'eefah wa'l-Mawdoo'iyyah (5/76).
It was also narrated by Ibn Hibbaan in al-Majrooheen (1/238) and by Ibn 'Adiyy
in al-Kaamil (3/167) via al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Balkhi from 'Awf al-A'raabi
from Ibn Sireen from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "If a woman becomes pregnant, she will
have the reward of one who fasts, prays qiyaam, is devout, fears Allah and
strives in jihad for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted."
Ibn 'Adiyy said: It is munkar (odd). It was also narrated by Ibn al-Jawzi in
al-Mawdoo'aat (2/274). Al-Albaani said in ad-Da'eefah (5085): It is mawdoo'
(fabricated).
There is no need for this fabricated report, because we have the report that was
narrated by Imam Ahmad (1664) from 'Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn 'Awf (may Allah be
pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) said: "If a woman offers her five (daily) prayers, fasts her month
(Ramadan), guards her chastity and obeys her husband, it will be said to her:
Enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish."
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami', 660
