An immoral woman is worst than 1000 immoral men. > 3. A pregnant woman's 2 Rakaats Salaat is better than 80 Rakaats of a woman who is not pregnant. > 4. A woman who breast feeds her baby is rewarded for each drop of milk. > 5. A woman who welcomes and comforts her troubled husband is given the reward equal to half a Jihaad. > 6. A woman who is kept awake for the entire night because of her child's crying, is given the reward of having freed 20 slaves. > 7. When a man looks at his wife with mercy and a wife looks at her husband with mercy then Allah Ta'ala looks at both of them with mercy. > 8. A woman who sends her husband out in the path of Allah(SWT) and she remain in her home, maintaining her honour and dignity, she will enter Jannah 500 years before her husband and she will have 70,000 angels and damsels of Jannat to serve her. This woman will be given a bath in Jannah and she will be mounted upon a "ruby (precious stone)horse, awaiting her husband. > 9. A woman who is drprived of sleep because of her child's illness and she tries to comfort the child, then Allah Ta'ala forgives all her sins and gives her the reward of 12 years of accepted worship. > 10. A woman who reads "Bismillah" before kneading the dough, Allah Ta'ala grants her barakah (blessing) in her sustenance. > 11. Allah curses that woman who gazes at Ghair-Mahram (i.e. men whom she is islamically allowed to marry.) As it is prohibited (Haraam) for men to look at strange women similarly, it is haraam for women to look at strange men. > 12. A woman who engages in Zikr while sweeping her home receives the reward equal to sweeping the Ka'bah. > 13. If you are immodest, then do as you please (Bukhari) > 14. A woman who is punctual with her Salaat and Fasting, remains chaste and is obedient to her husband, will be given the option to enter Jannat from which ever door she pleases. (Mishkaat) > 15. The Salaat of two people does not rise above their heads, the one is a slave that escapes from his master and the other is the woman who is disobedient to her husband. > 16. A pregnant woman's day is counted as though she has fasted and her night as though she has spent it in worship. > 17. When a woman gives birth then she receives the reward for 70 years Salaat and Fasting, and for the difficulties she endures during  child-birth she receives the reward of a Hajj for every vain that is subjected to the pain. > 18. If a woman passes away within 40 days after giving birth then she is given the reward and status of martyr. > 19. When a child cries at night and the mother feeds the child without cursing, she gets the reward of one years' Salaat and Fasting. > 20. When a child's breast-feeding time is completed then > an angel descends > from the heavens and gives glad tidings to the mother > that, oh woman! Allah > has made Jannat waajib upon you. > 21. When a husband returns from a journey and his wife feeds him, and in his absence she had not been unfaithful then she receives the reward of twelve year's optional (Nafl) worship. > 22. A woman whose husband is pleased with her when she dies then Jannnat becomes incumbent (Waajib) upon her. > 23. If a woman serves husband voluntarily, she receives the reward of giving seven grams (tolas) of gold in sadqah. If she serves her husband when he requests her to do so, she receives the reward of giving seven grams of silver in sadqah. > 24. One righteous woman is better than 70 good men. > 25. For a husband to teach his wife one rule of Shariah (Mas'ala) is equal to eighty years of worship. > 26. In Jannat, people will go (out) to see Allah but, for the woman had upheld her modesty and purdah, Allah will present Himself before her. > 27. Woman should make Hijaab (purdah) from strange men. Women who wear revealing clothing, women who excite people's passions and women who attract men's lustful desires (i.e. she adorns herself for the above reason then, neither will she enter Jannat nor will she even smell the fragrance of Jannat.

* A pious, practicing woman is superior to 70 Saints. * A pregnant woman's 2 Rakaats Salaat is better than 80 Rakaats of a woman who is not pregnant. * A woman who breast feeds her baby is rewarded for each drop of milk. ----------------- wow! Thats too much of a reward for being a FEMALE ;) One of the criteria for rejecting a hadith that I read in the widely acclaimed work, Sirat-un-Nabi, by Shibli Nomani is the extraordinary reward for small deeds of goodness. ...and Allah knows best.

slm  :) [quote]wow! Thats too much of a reward for being a FEMALE [/quote] It just aint fair is it?  ;)  You girls have it way toooo easy! :p With regards to the authenticity of the article I have been told a few things: 1) First of all, just to state that like everybody else the author was also human and hence open to error. 2) Most (if not all) of them are not direct hadith i.e. Rasoolullah (saw)'s words but the authors own words. 3) The virtues of the women given have been extracted from other ahadith, sometimes directly and other times indirectly. 4) Some of the virtues have been extracted from weak ahadith but because it is not an issue of fiqh but an issue of fadhail it has been added on to the list. 5) ...And Allah (swt) knows best. wlm  :)

Asalaamu Alaikum ;-) [quote] 4) Some of the virtues have been extracted from weak ahadith but because it is not an issue of fiqh but an issue of fadhail it has been added on to the list. [/quote] Br Learner good point. May be someone on the board who knows these things can tell us why it is sometimes okay to mention a weak hadith in respect of a good action as long, as you say, there are no issues of fiqh attached to it.

Wow, i am truly amazed that muslims could come up with stuff like, not to mention those who believe in it, or muchless defend this.  A few weeks back i wrote to someone about this "hadeeth"??????????, and indicated to that person its many contradictions, which i cannot reiterate now due to time.   However, i would like to point out that eventhough the author did not say the messenger {saw} said such and such, it is as if he is actually saying he {saw} said such and such. For many of these rewards and punishments are from the affairs of the "ghayb", and the only person who has the ability the inform us of this is the messenger {saw} {though either the quran or authenicated hadeeth}, thus when a person says "whoever does such and such, his reward or punishment will be such and such", it is as if he is saying the messenger {saw} said this, for no one has the ability to arrive at this except through "wahy" and we all know that all wahy has been cut off  since the death of the messenger {saw}. THis is just like if i were to say "whoever eats cactus after praying Allah will build a house for him in jannah", the first thing people will ask me is where did i get this from ????? Likewise this article where did this came from i.e. which book of hadeeth did this derive from and is it authentic? That is the first point. Secondly, scholars have written books {like ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah's book Al Manaar Al Maneef} about how to recognize a "mawdoo" fabricated hadeeth on the spot. And this book was written by him due to a question someone asked whereby they inquired " Is it possible to know a mawdoo hadeeth without even looking at the isnaad? {chain of narration}. And thus, he wrote this book detailing over 45 principles on how one can know a hadeeth is mawdoo without looking at the isnaad. Just to give an example from amongst these points that may apply here; The hadeeth has a very feeble meaning, to the point where the hearing spits it out naturally and its meaning is repulsive: "Four {things} cannot do without four {things}; a woman without a man, earth without water, the eye without looking and the ears without news". No doubt any mulsim who has the slightest ounce of fiqh and has knows the words of the messenger {saw}, will instantly realize this in no way can be a hadeeth from the messenger {saw}. He also went to mention the principle that all hadeeth about a particular salat singling out a particular day in the week, or a month in the year {like the middle of Shabaan, etc..} are all lies upon the messenger {saw}. Which bring us to the third point, lying upon the messenger {saw} The messenger {saw} said "Whoever ascribes to me that which I did not say, will surely have to occupy his seat in the fire [of hell]", and this hadeeth has is muttawatir i.e . has been narrated by so may sahabahs it is impossible for it to a lie upon the messenger {saw} (shaikh Al Albani said according his checking this hadeeth has been narrated by more than 100 sahabahs!!!!!!!!!!!). And in a next hadeeth the messenger saw said "Whoever narrates a hadeeth from/about me and he sees that it is a lie, then he is one of the liars". Thus, we see the danger of narrating these types of ahadeeth, which also includes forwarding, lest the hadeeth apply to us.  Thirdly, the following arguments are not substantiable in this case:         1) "First of all, just to state that like everybody else the author was also human and hence open to error." This is a given, there are no differences of opinion about this. 2) "Most (if not all) of them are not direct hadith i.e. Rasoolullah (saw)'s words but the authors own words"   Does he receive wahy? "3) The virtues of the women given have been extracted from other ahadith, sometimes directly and other times indirectly. 4) Some of the virtues have been extracted from weak ahadith but because it is not an issue of fiqh but an issue of fadhail it has been added on to the list." And as for mentioning weak hadeeth in "fadaa'il al a'maal", the scholars {like ibn Hajar Al Asqalaani in this instance} have stated that the following conditions must be met in order for us to use weak ahadeeth: 1) Upon that which they all agree, that it should not be very weak so that it excludes that only narrated by a liar, one accused of lying and one who makes serious mistakes. {And no one can apply this to the above mentioned hadeeth for we have no source as to which book this came from and who are its narrators} 2) That is falls under a general proof {principle of the shariah} already present - which excludes that which is invented having no basis. {Now under which principle do the following fall under: "When a child's breast-feeding time is completed then > an angel descends > from the heavens and gives glad tidings to the mother > that, oh woman! Allah > has made Jannat waajib upon you." In this case all women who gave birth and breast fed should enter in to jannah, just for breast feeding, kuffar and msulim!!!!!!!! Not no metion the many other ahadeeth that are like this.} 3) That acting upon it the person does not think that it is something established - in order that he does not attribute to the Prophet what he did not say. I can go on and on about these "hadeeth" but inshallah this should be sufficient for those "Who has a heart or gives ear while he is heedful." {Qaf}, and i said what i said, and i seek Allahs' forgiveness and I repent unto Him.
