‘Abdullāh bin ‘Abbās on adornment for one’s spouse
23 November 2020 · 8 Rabīʿ II 1442 AH
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ ابْنِ عَبَاسٍ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمَا: >إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَتَزَيَّنَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ، كَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَتَزَيَّنَ لِي الْمَرْأَةُ<
قال الشيخ محمد بن صالح العثيمين رحمه الله في الشرح الممتع على زاد المستقنع: قال بعض السلف: إني أحب أن أتجمل لزوجتي، كما أحب أن تتجمل لي، ولعل هذا يدخل في قوله صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: >لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ<
Translation
‘Abdullāh bin ‘Abbās [d. 65H] (may Allāh be pleased with them both) said: “Indeed, I love that I beautify myself for my wife just like I love that she beautifies herself for me.”
Shaykh Muḥammad bin Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn [d. 1421H] (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said [Sharḥ al-Mumti’ ‘alā Zā’d as-Mustaqni’ (12/405)]: “Some of the salaf said: ‘I like to beautify myself for my wife just as I want that she beautifies herself for me.’ This can fall under the ḥadīth: ‘None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself.’” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (13), and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (45)]
