أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُّ النِّسَاءِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الَّتِي تَسُرُّهُ إِذَا نَظَرَ، وَتُطِيعُهُ إِذَا أَمَرَ، وَلَا تُخَالِفُهُ فِي نَفْسِهَا وَمَالِهَا بِمَا يَكْرَهُ

Book [26]: The book of marriage
Chapter [14]: Which women is best?

Ḥadīth [3231]: It was narrated that Abī Hurayrah (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: It was said to the Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him): ‘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.”

1) She should welcome him with clean clothes and a smiling face.
2) When the husband calls her to fulfill his sexual desire, she should be readily available and give him open-hearted permission to use her wealth.
