Moral Character of Husband Can Be Judged by Testimony of Wife

(Excerpt from Friday Sermon, February 25, 2005)

Hazrat A’isha(ra) narrates that the Holy Prophet’s(sa) conduct was in exact accord with the Qur’an; his pleasure was in God’s pleasure, and his displeasure was in God’s displeasure. The Holy Prophet(sa) stated, “I have been appointed to perfect excellence of conduct.”1

And there are not a few, or ten or twenty incidents that portray the conduct of the Holy Prophet(sa). The wife of the Holy Prophet(sa) is not the only witness in this regard. To gain insight into one’s domestic life, the testimony of the wife is highly regarded. The quality of one’s morals and internal affairs can be judged by the testimony of the wife and children.
