Riyad as-Salihin, 285
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If I were to order anyone to prostrate himself before another, I would have ordered a woman to prostrate herself before her husband". <b>[At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih]</b>
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
لو كنت آمرًا أحدًا أن يسجد لأحد لأمرت المرأة أن تسجد لزوجها
((رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن صحيح)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The Hadith lays great emphasis on the obligation for a woman to obey her husband even in the hardest circumstances.<br>
2) The Shariah blocked the way before men from being tempted by other women, so it made the wife lawful to her husband and urged her to obey him.<br>
3) The husband’s right over his wife is a great one, and the wife is encouraged to obey her husband according to what is acceptable.
