Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, family members also enjoyed the graceful conduct of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and the blessed personality of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was unparalleled in terms of showing affection and graceful behaviour.

In response to a question, the mother of the believers, Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has stated, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم himself would mend his own blesse shoes, patch his own clothes and would do all those household chores that men do in their houses.

(Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 9, pp. 519)

The above-mentioned narration contains Madani pearls for the husbands. Generally in home, husband has the temperament and tendency to rule and dominate his wife. As she is troubled even for a little job though husband can easily carry out many pieces of work but he assumes even moving his body slightly below his dignity and if even his wife carries out his piece of work for him, still, he complains and finds fault with that work and unnecessarily ask her again and again to do that piece of work for him for example if food is presented to him, he begins to pass comments over the excess of salt or the lacking of spices in foods. If everything is properly done then he begins to give his opinion on the taste of food and if everything is perfect then he finds excuses such as ‘Why did you not cook that thing?’, ‘Why did you cook this?’, ‘I do not feel like to have it, take it away from here’, ‘Prepare such and such thing for me’ etc. Similarly, even if clothes are ironed, still, he complains: ‘Why did you iron this dress? I will not wear it. Iron such and such dress right now.’ If water is served to him then he complains: ‘I will not drink water in this glass, bring water in such and such glass water’. If he is served accordingly then he complains: ‘Why is it so cold or hot?’ etc. Thus he makes his wife run around. However, if anything is occurred against one’s temperament, he can ask for his desirable thing gracefully without rebuke and reprimand, and he should adopt this graceful etiquette in everything.

If only we could learn something from the graceful conduct and actions of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and attain success by following them practically, and try to be the helping hand of our family as much as possible
