Question:

What rewards will a husband get for tolerating his abusive, vile wife who destroys his motivation and deen in life?
Husband can divorce but sacrifices his happiness for his childrens sake because he does not want them to be raised alone by a bad example.

Answer:

Walaikum assalam,

This is a great affliction you are experiencing. May Allah make it easy for you and give you patience.

Abu Dawud mentions in the Sunan, and it is related by Ahmad as well (Hadith No. 959) :

The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said :

“This my Ummah, is a Ummah that has mercy upon it, ‘Marhooma’- a Ummah that has mercy that’s been wrapped in Mercies; there is no punishment for this Ummah in the Hereafter except their punishment that they experience in the Dunya — killing and death and dying, trials and tribulations, earthquakes and the like.”

And the wording of Abu Dawud is :

“This Ummah reminds of the Ummah, that Allaah has placed His mercy upon. This Ummah will not have any punishment in the Hereafter, this punishment is in this world with fitan, trials, tribulations and punishments and difficulties, and earthquakes and killings, murder, death.. like this.”

Success is from Allah,

Ali Elsayed
