Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah said: ʿAbd al-Rahim ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Layth, from ʿAbd al-Malik, from ʿAtaʾ, from Ibn ʿUmar:
A woman asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what right does a husband have over his wife?”
He replied, “She must not refuse herself to him, even if she is sitting on the pack-saddle of a camel; she must not fast except with his permission; she must not give charity from his household wealth except with his permission; and she must not leave her home except with his permission. If she does so, the angels curse her until she dies or repents.”
She asked, “O Prophet of Allah, even if he is unjust to her?”
He said, “Even if he is unjust to her. (1)”
This hadith was also transmitted by Jarir, from Layth, from ʿAtaʾ himself, from Ibn ʿUmar.
I say: Some of the leading scholars deem Layth’s reports acceptable, yet they do not actually reach the level of fair; rather, they belong to the class of narrations that are weak but close to being acceptable. Such reports may be cited for corroboration and comparison, and in matters of exhortation and virtues, but not for establishing obligations.
