Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: When the husband calls his wife to his bed and she does not come and he spends the night offended with her, the angels keep cursing her through the night (Bokhari and Muslim). Another version is: When a woman spends the night away from her husband’s bed, the angels keep cursing her through the night. Still another version runs: The Holy Prophet said: By Him in Whose hands is my life, when a husband calls his wife to his bed and she refuses him, He Who is in heaven is offended with her till her husband is pleased with her. (An-Nisa' 36)

Ibn Umar relates that the Holy Prophet said: Every one of you is a steward and is accountable for that which is committed to his charge. The ruler is a steward and is accountable for his charge, a man is a steward in respect of his household, a woman is a steward in respect of her husband’s house and his children. Thus everyone of you is a steward and is accountable for that which is committed to his charge (Bokhari and Muslim). (An-Nisa' 36)

(Al-Baqarah 35, At-Talaq 9, Saba 41)

(Al-Baqarah 35, At-Talaq 9, Saba 41)
