The reciter: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted:
"From 'Amr ibn al-Ahwas al-Jashmi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Farewell Pilgrimage say, after he had praised Allah the Exalted, extolled Him, mentioned Him, and admonished, then he said: And indeed I order you to be good to the women, for they are but captives with you over whom you have no power than that, except if they come with manifest Fahishah (evil behavior). If they do that, then abandon their beds and beat them with a beating that is not harmful. And if they obey you then you have no cause against them. Indeed you have rights over your women, and your women have rights over you. As for your rights over your women, then they must not allow anyone whom you dislike to treat on your bedding (furniture), nor to admit anyone in your home that you dislike. And their rights over you are that you treat them well in clothing them and feeding them.
ألا واستوصوا بالنساء خيرًا فإنما هن عوان عندكم ، ليس تملكون منهن شيئاً غير ذلك ، إلا أن يأتين بفاحشة مُبيِّنة فإن فعلن فاهجروهن في المضاجع واضربوهن ضرباً غير مبرح ، فإن أطعنكم فلا تبغوا عليهن سبيلاً ، ألا إن لكم على نسائكم حقاً ، ولنسائكم عليكم حقا ، فحقكم عليهن أن لا يوطئن فرشكم من تكرهون ، ولا يأذن في بيوتكم لمن تكرهون ، ألا وحقهن عليكم أن تحسنوا إليهن في كسوتهن وطعامهن .
