Sahih Muslim 1403b (Book 16, Hadith 11) #10546
The Prophet's Visit to His Wife

SUMMARY: The Prophet saw a woman and went to his wife Zainab who was tanning a piece of leather.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle saw a woman; and the rest of the hadith was narrated but (with this exception) that he said he came to his wife Zainab, who was tanning a (piece of) leather, and he made no mention of: " She retires in the shape of satan".
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ أَبِي، الْعَالِيَةِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ رَأَى امْرَأَةً ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَأَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ زَيْنَبَ وَهْىَ تَمْعَسُ مَنِيئَةً ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ تُدْبِرُ فِي صُورَةِ شَيْطَانٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet's visit to his wife Zainab while she was tanning a piece of leather. Tanning is the process of treating animal skins or hides in order to make them suitable for use as clothing or other items. It is clear from this hadith that the Prophet respected and valued his wife's work and did not consider it beneath him to visit her while she was working. This teaches us that we should respect all kinds of work regardless of its nature and not look down upon any kind of labor or profession. We should also appreciate our spouses' efforts in whatever they do and show them support in their endeavors.
