Ahmad likewise transmits on her authority:
“The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—was once among a group of Emigrants and Helpers when a camel approached and prostrated before him.
His Companions said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, the animals and even the trees prostrate to you; we are surely more deserving of doing so.’
He replied, ‘If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would command a wife to prostrate to her husband. Indeed, were he to order her to carry a load from a yellow mountain to a black one, and from a black mountain to a white one, she would be obliged to comply.’”
It was narrated by Ahmad through ʿAffān, and by Ibn Mājah through Ibn Abī Shaybah, from

فَقَالَ:
لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا، وَلَوْ أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَنْقُلَ مِنْ جَبَلٍ أَصْفَرَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَسْوَدَ وَمِنْ جَبَلٍ أَسْوَدَ إِلَى جَبَلٍ أَبْيَضَ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ»
