Sahih Muslim 1897a (Book 33, Hadith 203) #12013
Respect for the Wives of Mujahids

SUMMARY: The sanctity of the wives of Mujahids is to be respected and those who stay behind looking after their families should not betray their trust.

It has been narrated on the authority of Sulaimin b. Buraida who learnt the tradition from his father. The latter said that the Messenger of Allah said: The sanctity of the wives of Mujahids is like the sanctity of their mothers for those who sit at home (i. e do not go out for Jihad). Anyone who stays behind looking after the family of a Mujahid and betrays his trust will be made to stand on the Day of judgment before the Mujahid who will take away from his meritorious deeds whatever he likes. So what do you think (will he leave anything)?
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ حُرْمَةُ نِسَاءِ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ كَحُرْمَةِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِينَ يَخْلُفُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فى أَهْلِهِ فَيَخُونُهُ فِيهِمْ إِلاَّ وُقِفَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَأْخُذُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ مَا شَاءَ فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about respecting the sanctity of the wives of Mujahids, or those who go out for jihad. It emphasizes that anyone who stays behind looking after their family should not betray this trust as they will be held accountable on Judgment Day by the Mujahid themselves. The hadith also implies that if someone betrays this trust, there will be nothing left from their meritorious deeds to save them from punishment on Judgment Day. This teaches us to respect and honor our commitments even when it comes to taking care of our loved ones in times when they are away fighting for a greater cause.
