Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, ‘The person who (lies) in order to conciliate between people is not a liar, when he conveys good or says (something) good”.The narration in Muslim added: She said, “I never heard him (she meant the Prophet ﷺ) giving permission of lying in anything except in three (things): war, conciliating between people and the conversation of man with his wife and the conversation of a woman with her husband”.
📚Bukhārī and Muslim
Mu’adh ibn Jabal (raḍī Allāhuʿanhu) reported that the Prophet said, “When a wife hurts her husband in this world, his wife in Paradise, from among the hural-ayn says “Do not hurt him. May Allāh destroy you! He is only an alien with you and will soon separate from you to come to us”.
📚Tirmidhī, Ibn Majah, Aḥmad, Ṣaḥīḥ
Narrated Abū Hurayrah:
It was narrated that Abū Hurayrah said: “It was said to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: ‘Which woman is best?’ He said: ‘The one who makes him happy when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands her, and she does not go against his wishes with regard to herself nor her wealth.'”
📚An-Nasaa’ee, Ḥasan
5. She preserves his honour and herself
Fadala ibn ʿUbayd reported that the Prophet, may Allāh bless him and grant him peace, said, “Do not ask about three: a man who parts company with the community, rebels the ruler and dies while he is a still a rebel. Do not ask about him. Or a slave or slave girl who runs away from his master. Or a woman whose husband is absent and who has sufficient provision and then displays her adornments to strangers and mixes freely. Do not ask about three: a man who contends with Allāh regarding His cloak. His cloak is pride and His wrapper is His might. Also, a man who doubts the command of Allāh and someone who despairs of Allāh’s mercy.”
📚Al-Adabul-Mufrad, Ṣaḥīḥ
Abū Malih Huzali reported that some women of Hims or of Syria visited Āʿishah (raḍīyallahu ʿanhu). She said, “You are the women who go to the public baths. I have heard Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ say that there is no woman who removes her garments in a house other than her husband’s but she tears the curtain between her and her Lord.”
📚Tirmidhī, Abū Dāwūd, Aḥmad, Ṣaḥīḥ
6. Keeps his secrets
7. Preserve the home of her husband
Hammam ibn Munabbih said:
These are some of the a ḥadīth of Muḥammad. the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, transmitted to us on the authority of Abū Hurayrah. So he narrated one Ḥadīth out of them (as this): The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: No woman should observe fast when her spouse is present (in the house) but with his permission. And she should not admit any (maḥram) in his house, while he (her husband) is present, but with his permission. And whatever she spends from his earnings without his sanction, for him is half the reward.
📚Muslim
Abū Hurayrah (May Allāh be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, “It is not lawful for a woman to observe an optional Saum (fast) without the permission of her husband when he is at home. Nor should she allow anyone to enter his house without his permission.”
📚Bukhārī and Muslim
8. Spend anything from his wealth except with his permission
Abū Umāmah Bahiliy said that he heard Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ say during a sermon in the year of the farewell Pilgrimage. “A woman must not spend anything from her husband’s home without his permission”. He was asked, “O Messenger of Allāh! And not even food?” He said, “that is the best of our properties’.
📚Tirmidhī,Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, Ḥasan
Narrated Aa;ishah (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhā):

📚Bukhārī
