3. Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’, Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘A servant (of Allah) never gains a benefit better than a virtuous wife who gives him joy when he looks to her and who protects his interest in his absence.’”
