Sunan an-Nasai 3191 (Book 25, Hadith 107) #17803
Respect for the Wives of Mujahidin

SUMMARY: The wives of Mujahidin are to be respected and taken care of by those who stay behind, and anyone who betrays them will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah said: "The sanctity of the wives of the Mujahidin to those who stay behind is like the sanctity of their mothers. There is no man among those who stay behind who takes on the responsibility of looking after the wife of one of the Mujahidin (and betrays him) but he (the betrayer) will be made to stand before him on the Day Resurrection and it will be said: 'O So-and-so, this is so-and-so, take whatever you want from his good deeds'." Then the Prophet turned to his Companions and said: "What do you think: Will he leave him any of his good deeds?"
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَعْنَبٌ، - كُوفِيٌّ - عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ حُرْمَةُ نِسَاءِ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ فِي الْحُرْمَةِ كَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِينَ يَخْلُفُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي أَهْلِهِ إِلاَّ نُصِبَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ يَا فُلاَنُ هَذَا فُلاَنٌ فَخُذْ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ مَا شِئْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا ظَنُّكُمْ تُرَوْنَ يَدَعُ لَهُ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ شَيْئًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of respecting and taking care of the wives of Mujahidin, or those who fight in jihad. It is a warning to those who stay behind that if they betray or mistreat these women, they will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked his Companions what they thought would happen to someone who betrayed a Mujahidi's wife - would he have any good deeds left? This implies that such an act is so serious that it could potentially wipe out all one's good deeds. Therefore, this hadith teaches us to respect and take care not only for our own mothers but also for other people's mothers as well as their wives.
