Laqit ibn Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife, and there is something in her tongue, meaning sharpness.” He said, “Divorce her.” I said, “She has borne me a child, and we have companionship.” He said, “Then admonish her,” meaning advise her. “If there is good in her, she will comply. Do not strike your wife as you would strike your slave girl.” Narrated by Abu Dawud.
