Ugly Husband and Beautiful Wife

[strivingobserver98]

The wife of ‘Imrān bin Ḥaṭṭān was one of the most beautiful women, while he was one of the most ugliest men.

He said to her one day, “You and me will be in Paradise Inshā Allāh.” She said, “How is that?”

He said, “Because you were given to me and I was thankful, and I was given to you and you were patient, and those who are patient along with those who are thankful are from the inhabitants of Paradise!”

Al-Asma’i recounted, once I was passing by a desert and as met a very beautiful woman who had an ugly husband. I asked her, how did you accept him a husband? She said, give me your ear! He might have kept a good relation with Allah and thus He made me a reward to him. On the other hand, I might have disobeyed Allah and thus he made him my punishment.
