Addressing Salamah (radi Allahu anha), the nurse of his son Ibraheem, the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "Does it not please any one of you that if she conceives by her husband and he is satisfied with her, that she receives the reward of fasting and vigil (remaining alert as a Mujahid protecting the borders of the Islamic state) for Allah's sake. And none of the dwellers of Heaven or Earth know about the coolness of eyes (a unique repose) she will receive for the labor pains she suffered. When she delivers, not a mouthful of milk flows from her and not an instance does the child suck, but that she receives for every suck and mouthful, the reward of a good deed. If she is kept awake by her child during the night, she receives the reward of freeing seventy slaves for the sake of Allah. O Salamah, do you know which women are being referred to? Those who, despite being pious and enjoying a respectable position, obey their husbands and do not belittle them." [Tabarani]
Child bearing and child rearing can be a source of phenomenal reward for women. It is hard to think of any activity which will surpass these in reward for her. Truly, nobody can compensate like Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) does!
It is important for women to keep in mind though, that they need to honour their husbands to receive the full reward, especially if they are of a higher social standing or more pious than their husbands. It is natural to respect someone who is better than you, but if you feel that you are no less (itself arrogance) than it is hard to honour and obey against one’s temperament and wishes. This is the real challenge. Respect of the husband is indicative of the piety of the wife.
