Benefits of the Hadith: (Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not harm his neighbor, and treat women with kindness, for they were created from a rib...)

The Shaykh : He said, from Abu Hurayrah to the end of it.
This hadith contains a warning against harming the neighbor, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . The aspect of the warning is that the hadith indicates that harming the neighbor negates faith.
One of the benefits of the hadith is that harming the neighbor is among the major sins. This is because the negation of faith for other sins is a threat without doubt, and a punishment that falls under the category of the sin or the limit of a major sin. This is supported by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): meaning: his oppression and injustice.
One of the benefits of the hadith is the affirmation of the Last Day.
Branching from this benefit is that whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, his faith will compel him to avoid sins out of fear of what? Of the punishment of that Day.
One of the benefits of the hadith is the perfection of the Islamic religion, where it advised kindness to the weak. He said: . And there is no doubt that women are weak in intellect and religion, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . And if you reflect on the Islamic religion, you will find that it has advised kindness to every one who is weak. It has advised kindness to orphans, to the poor, and to travelers, all of this because such people need compassion and care, so Islam has advised kindness to them.
One of the benefits of the hadith is the clarification of what Allah has bestowed upon the Ummah by opposing the customs of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. For in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, they used to harm women by burying them alive, meaning they buried them while they were alive. And in inheritance, they did not inherit them, saying: inheritance is for those who ride horses and defend the wells, and the woman is not like that. For this reason, Allah the Exalted said: .
One of the benefits of this hadith is the excellence of the teaching of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), which is through the use of parables. For tangible parables bring rational meanings closer. The point is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) compared the woman to a rib, and the rib is known to everyone to be crooked. If a person tries to straighten it, he breaks it, and if he enjoys it, he enjoys it in its crookedness.
One of the benefits of this hadith is that women were created from a rib, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): .
One of the benefits of this hadith is that a person returns to his origin. Indeed, if you wish, generalize that every created being returns to its origin. For the saying of the Messenger: clarifies that as long as she was created from something crooked, she will be crooked. For this reason, the Lawgiver prohibited eating the meat of predatory animals, the meat of every animal with fangs among the predators. Why? So that a person is not affected in his nature by the nature of the predator, becoming one who loves aggression. For this reason also, Iblis returned to his origin, where he said: . So he became with him recklessness and arrogance, because fire by its nature seeks elevation, but it is an unorganized elevation, recklessness. This is a tongue coming out from here, and a tongue coming out from here, and a tongue coming out from here.
Now, one of the benefits of this hadith is that it is recommended for a man to be patient with the crookedness of the woman, to be patient with it, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . And this is an encouragement from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that we should enjoy her in her crookedness. If she gets angry, what does he do?
The student: He calms her down.

The Shaykh : I am pleased. If she meets me with a gloomy face, I meet her with a relaxed face. Because if you meet her with the same way she treats you, the quarrel, dispute, cursing, and insults will continue. Then perhaps he will divorce and not find anyone to advise him that his divorce does not take effect. At that time, there will be problems. And the sensible person can please the woman, because the woman is pleased with every word, every word, especially from the husband, pleases her. Every word angers her. And it is recommended, for example, if some women have great jealousy, such that if they see him honoring his mother, they place the mother in the position of a rival and come to hate the mother and curse her in his presence. Even if he has male friends, she stands and talks about the men, what does she want with these men? This one has this and that, and he is one of the purest and best of people. But it is jealousy. Some women have intense jealousy. How do I treat such a person? I treat her according to her intellect, I reassure her, and I mention, for example, that this thing should not be placed in this position, you will tire yourself. And he teaches her, he enjoys her in her crookedness. Otherwise, he will lose her. Yes.
One of the benefits of this hadith is the severity of divorce for the woman, that it is severe for her. Where is this taken from? From his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth, for the divorce of the woman is without doubt a breaking for her, as we mentioned earlier.
And it is recommended for us in this aspect to look into the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his treatment of his family and wives. How he pleased everyone, how he used to race Aisha, racing her on foot, and how he used to cover her so that she could look at the Ethiopians while they were playing in the mosque. It is recommended for the student of knowledge to collect such things in order to present them to people. Because among people, may Allah spare us, are those who place the woman in the position of a servant, humiliating her and tiring her, and perhaps scratching her honor by cursing her father and mother, and her family. All of this exists among people, and it is contrary to the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in word and deed.
