This is an excerpt from one of Tariq Jameel’s speeches. Its translated more or less meaning.
Prophet (saw) through his actions honored & loved women. This is how society flourishes. It was common among Arabs in earlier days they wouldn’t sit with their women and eat. Today it’s awkward to eat with your wife. Chewing tobacco there no shame in that but its embarrassing to eat with your wife. These are thoughts of ignorance.
Our Prophet (saw) made it habit to sit and eat with his wife. He (saw) would make morsels and feed Aisha (rad) with his hands. He (saw) would break pieces of meat and put in his wife’s mouth. It was common among the Arabs that pieces of meat wouldn’t be small.
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah’s sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife’s mouth.” (Bukhari)
Aisha (rad) would say “I would drink while I was menstruating, then I would hand it to the Prophet (saw) and he would put his mouth where mine had been and drink. And I would nibble at a bone on which some bits of meat were left while I was menstruating, then I would give it to the Prophet (saw) and he would put his mouth where my mouth had been.” (Sahih An-Nasai)
One man told me there is arguments with his wife all the time.
I advised him when you go home sit down to eat, make a morsel and put in your wife’s mouth. Your arguments will stop.
After 3-4 days I asked him did you do it?
He said no.
I asked why?
He said I feel awkward.
I told him you don’t feel awkward fighting, its noon you are going to have lunch, do it and let me know what happens.
He called me after hour when I placed morsel in her mouth she stared at me and asked who told you to do this. She said Allah bless him who taught you how to love. After that arguments subsided.
Our Prophet (saw) has given us style of living not present in our homes. Pathans want to live like Pathans, Punjabis have their own style, Sindhis have their own style, Baluchis have their own style. Pure lifestyle of Prophet (saw) that doesn’t exist.
