A man from the Ansar, during the time of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), went out for some errands and instructed his wife not to leave her house until he returned. Her father became ill, so the woman sent a message to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saying: "My husband has gone out and instructed me not to leave my house until he returns, but my father is ill. Do you command me to visit him?" The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "No, stay in your house and obey your husband." Then her father died, so she sent another message, saying: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), my father has died. Do you command me to perform the funeral prayer for him?" He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "No, stay in your house and obey your husband." After the man was buried, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent her a message saying: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forgiven you and your father because of your obedience to your husband."
