Imam Bukhari mentions a Hadith of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), reported by Hazrat Abu Huraira (ra) which is as
follows: “If
a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relation) and she
refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till
morning.”
There are many women who, as a result of a
dispute between themselves and their husbands, think that they are punishing
them (i.e. their husbands) by not allowing them to satisfy their carnal
desires. However, this attitude
can lead to serious problems that
can lead the husband to commit a prohibited act or things can turn against her
(i.e. the wife) and he will think about getting married to a second woman. The
wife must therefore satisfy his desire by putting into practice a
recommendation of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): “If the man calls his wife for sexual
intercourse, she must answer spontaneously even if she is on the saddle of a
camel!”
All the same, the husband must also take into account the condition of his wife, who may be sick, pregnant or have trouble, all this to reach an agreement (with her, mutual agreement) without difficulty.
