Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Treat women kindly, for they were created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its upper part. If you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked. So treat women kindly.” Agreed upon.

ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے، وہ فرماتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی
اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ارشاد فرمایا ہے (کہ میں عورتوں کے بارے میں تم کو وصیت کر رہا ہوں) تم عورتوں
کے ساتھ اچھا برتاؤ کرنے میں میری وصیت قبول کرو اس لئے کہ عورتیں ٹیڑھی پسلی سے پیدا ہوئی
ہیں اور پسلیوں میں سب سے زیادہ ٹیڑھی اوپر والی پسلی ہے اور اگر تم اس کو ایک دم سیدھا کرنا
چاہو گے تو توڑ دو گے اور اگر تم اس (پسلی) کو اپنی حالت میں چھوڑ دو تو اس کا ٹیڑھا پن باقی رہے گا
(میں تم کو پھر تاکید کرتا ہوں کہ ہر صورت میں) تم عورتوں کے ساتھ بھلائی کرنے میں میری وصیت
قبول کرو۔
اس کی روایت بخاری اور مسلم نے متفقہ طور پر کی ہے۔

And the saying of Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted: “And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them, perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good” [An-Nisa: 19], and His saying, the Exalted: “And they have rights similar to those against them in a just manner, and men have a degree over them. And Allah is Mighty, Wise” [Al-Baqarah: 228], and His saying, the Exalted: “As for those from whom you fear rebellion, admonish them and forsake them in bed and strike them. Then if they obey you, seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is Exalted, Great” [An-Nisa: 34].

Commentary and footnotes (3)
Chapter-heading commentary
(1) The statement: “And live with them in kindness, etc.”: This means to treat women with kindness, such as providing maintenance, speaking gently, and other good conduct. If you dislike them due to their bad character or appearance, be patient with them and do not separate from them, for in what you dislike, there may be much good, such as abundant reward, righteous offspring, or other benefits. The phrase “perhaps you dislike” is placed as the reason for the implied command to be patient, as explained in Tafsir al-Ahmadiyyah.
(2) The statement: “And they have rights similar to those against them in a just manner”: This indicates the mutual rights of the husband and wife. The husband’s rights over the wife include her service, respect, refraining from objecting to him, complete obedience to his commands, submission to him in all matters, and not preventing intimacy during menstruation or postpartum. The wife’s rights over the husband include maintenance, clothing, payment of the dowry as specified in fiqh, and teaching her the laws and rulings of the religion. Although the husband and wife are equal in rights, men have a degree over them, meaning an additional right and virtue due to their responsibility for expenditure, authority in marriage, divorce, revocation, inheritance, and similar matters, as in Tafsir al-Ahmadiyyah.
(3) The statement: “As for those from whom you fear rebellion”: This refers to their turning away or disobedience. Admonish them by advising them to obey. If advice does not work, forsake them in bed, meaning do not share their blanket, engage in intimacy, or turn your back to them in bed. If forsaking does not work, strike them lightly, without causing harm or injury. If they then obey by ceasing rebellion after admonishment, forsaking, or striking, as clarified in “Then if they obey you” [An-Nisa: 34], do not seek means against them by rebuking or harming them. Instead, remove any blame from them and treat their past actions as if they did not occur, for one who repents from a sin is as one who has no sin. “Indeed, Allah is Exalted, Great” [An-Nisa: 34], meaning He has greater power over you than you have over your wives, as in Tafsir al-Ahmadiyyah.
