Respect marriage and avoid cursing your spouse .

This hadith is about the Prophet's decision to separate two spouses who were invoking curses on each other. It is narrated by Sahl bin Saad that he witnessed the invocation of curses by the two spouses during the lifetime of the Prophet when he was fifteen years old. When they finished invoking curses, the Prophet separated them from each other. Other narrators said that he was present when the Prophet separated them. The man said that if he kept her with him then it would be a lie against her and no one supported Ibn 'Uyainah's opinion that he separated them himself. This hadith teaches us to respect marriage and not to invoke curses on our spouse as it can lead to separation which should be avoided at all costs in order for a successful marriage relationship. We should also remember that lying against someone is wrong and we should always strive for truthfulness in our relationships with others.
