The ruling on honoring one wife differently from the others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar said, in the context of the benefits derived from the hadith: "It includes a man honoring some of his wives in the presence of the others by what he gives them specifically in words or actions, and this is permissible provided he is safe from a bias that leads to injustice?"
Answer:
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 5189 There is no doubt that this is him informing her that he cared for her and honored her, (peace and blessings be upon him). This is a known matter; his love for her and his honoring of her; for she was the most beloved of women to him, (peace and blessings be upon him). And despite this, he would divide [his time] and be just, as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "He would divide [his time] and be just, saying: Sunan Abi Dawud 2134."

Answer:
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
I am to you as Abu Zar was to his wife Um Zar.
كنت لك كأبي زرع لأم زرع..O Allah, this is my division concerning what I control, so do not blame me concerning what You control and I do not.
اللهم هذا قسمي فيما أملك فلا تلمني فيما تملك ولا أملك
