"Umar ibn Al Khattab رضي الله عنه with his Wife"

It is reported that a man came to ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه to complain about his wife’s ill-temper.

While he was waiting for ‘Umar to come out of his house, he heard ‘Umar’s wife scolding him and ‘Umar quietly listening to her, and not answering her back.

The man turned around and started walking away, muttering to himself: “If that is the case with ‘Umar, the leader of the believers, who is famous for his uprightness and toughness, then what about poor me?!”

At that moment, ‘Umar came out of his house and saw the man walking away.

He called him and said,
“What is it you want of me, O man?”

The man replied: “O leader of the believers, I came to complain to you about my wife’s bad-temper and how she nags me. Then I heard your wife doing the same to you, so I turned around, muttering to myself, ‘If that is the situation of the leader of the believers,then what about me?’”

‘Umar replied, “O my brother, I bear with her because of her rights over me. She cooks my food, bakes my bread, washes my clothes, breast-feeds my child… and yet none of these are her duty; and then she is a comfort to my heart and keeps me away from forbidden deeds. Consequently, I bear with her.”
The man said,“It is the same with me, O leader of the believers.”‘

Umar said: Then, O my brother, be patient with her, indeed this life is short.

GLAD TIDINGS FOR A PERSON WHOSE COMPANION IS RIGHTEOUS

Yazīd al-Raqqāshī said,
"It has reached me that when the dead person is placed in his grave his deeds will surround him, and then Allāh will make them speak. They will say: 'O slave who is alone in his grave! Your family and loves ones have been cut off from you, and nothing will stay with you except us!'"

Then Yazīd wept and said,
"Glad tidings for a person whose companion (and social circle) is righteous, and woe to the one whose companion (and social circle) is a destruction upon him."

Umar on trustworthiness:

It is reported that ʿUmar b. Al-Khaṭṭāb – Allāh be pleased with him – said:

Do not expose yourself to what does not concern you, stay away from your enemy, beware of [taking as] your friend anyone except the trustworthy amongst people – and there is no one who is trustworthy except one who fears Allāh; and do not accompany the sinner in case you learn his sinfulness, and do not let him know your secrets, and consult those who fear Allāh for your affairs.

Abu Darda reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Everything has a reality, and the servant will not reach the reality of faith until he knows that what afflicted him could never miss him, and that what missed him could never have afflicted him.”

Al-Masad - 111:5


"In her neck is a twisted rope of palm fiber, [i.e. the chain which is in the Fire (of Hell)]." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, The Book of Interpretation, Surat 111, Chapter 4).

[Imam Qurtubi says in the Tafsir of the (V.17:45):]

Narrated Sa'id bin Jubair [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: "When Surah No. 111 (Surat Al-Masad) was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came looking out for the Prophet (ﷺ) while Abu Bakr [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu] was sitting beside him. Abu Bakr said to the Prophet (ﷺ) : 'I wish if you get aside (or go away) as she is coming to us, she may harm you.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'There will be a screen set between me and her.' So, she did not see him . She said to Abu Bakr: 'Your companion is saying poetry against me.' Abu Bakr said: 'By Allah he does not say poetry.' She said: 'Do you believe that.' Then she left. Abu Bakr said, 'O Allah's Messenger! She did not see you.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'An angel was screening me from her.' " [This Hadith is quoted in Musnad Abu Ya'la]

It is said that if the Verse (V.17:45) is recited by a real believer (of Islamic Monotheism) he will be screened from a disbeliever. (Allah knows better.)

(Tafsir Al-Qurtubi)

Al-Isra' 17:45
وَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ جَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَكَ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسۡتُورًا

And when you (Muhammad SAW) recite the Quran, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, an invisible veil (or screen their hearts, so they hear or understand it not).
