Question

Is this a Hadith?

“A pious wife is such a wonderful aid for one’s Din”

 

Answer

‘Allamah Tajud Din Subki and ‘Allamah ‘Iraqi (rahimahumallah) have stated that they have not come across a chain for this narration. The narration should therefore not be quoted until it can be verified.

(Tabaqatush Shafi’iyyah Al Kubra, vol. 6, pg. 360 and Al Mughni ‘An Hamlil Asfar, Hadith: 3731)

‘Allamah ‘Iraqi (rahimahullah) then cites the following narration [which should be quoted instead]:

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“The world is [to take benefit from], and the best object of benefit is a pious woman”

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1467)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
