Question
What is the authenticity
Husayn ibn Mihsan narrated that his aunt went to the Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) for some need. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked her, ‘Do you have a husband?’ She said, ‘Yes’. He asked ‘How are you with him?’ She replied, I am not negligent in obeying and serving him except for matters that I am not able to perform’. He (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) then said, ‘Watch [how well you treat him] for indeed, he is your Jannah or your Jahannam’.
