From the Salaf-Stories blog:

FUNNY: "My wife has been very unkind to me..."


Abu Eesa Niamatullah


A man once came to Imām Abu Ḥanīfah (raḥimahullāh) in the middle of the night, in a very anxious and stressed state, and said to our Imām:

"My wife has been very unkind to me, proving very stubborn and now even refuses to speak to me whatever I try to say or do. She made me so angry and upset that I said to her, "By Allah, if you don't speak tonight then I will divorce you!" The problem is that I love her too much and I don't want to divorce her, but she won't speak, so what can I do to get myself out of divorcing her?"

Imām Abu Ḥanīfah replied, "Don't worry, just go to her now and say to her, "Your dad's a weaver!"" (that's like a pure baisti put-down by the way)

So the puzzled man went back to his wife and said exactly that to his wife. She looked at him in shock and said, "Oh yeah? YOUR dad's a weaver!"

And thus the divorce was cancelled, and they lived happily ever after. I think. =)

As narrated to by our teacher Sh Kehlan al-Jubury in his wonderful presentation of the life of Imām Abu Ḥanīfah (raḥimahullāh) as organised by PropheticGuidance - a genius of which the likes has not been seen since, and a scholar of which I will never tire of promoting his school wherever I go in the world teaching my fiqh classes, wa lau karihal-jaahiloon. =)
