reward of sabr

REWARD OF SABR

Hadhrat Ka’b Ahbaar (rahmatullah alayh) said: “The man who bears with Sabr (patience) the distress caused to him by his wife will gain the reward which Nabi Ayyoob (alayhis salaam) had received (for his years of patience in his state of suffering). The wife who bears with patience the oppression of her husband will receive the reward of Aasiyyah Bint Mazaaham.” Hadhrat Aasiyah was the wife of Fir’oun. He had brutally tortured and killed her when she had accepted Islam from Nabi Musaa (alayhis salaam).
