Sahih al-Bukhari 29 (Book 2, Hadith 22) #29
Ungratefulness Leads to Hell

SUMMARY: The majority of people in Hell are women who are ungrateful to their husbands and do not appreciate the good deeds done to them.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful". It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أُرِيتُ النَّارَ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءُ يَكْفُرْنَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قِيلَ أَيَكْفُرْنَ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ، وَيَكْفُرْنَ الإِحْسَانَ، لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَى إِحْدَاهُنَّ الدَّهْرَ ثُمَّ رَأَتْ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how ungratefulness can lead one to hell. It was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said he was shown the hellfire and that most of its inhabitants were women who were ungrateful. When asked if they disbelieved in Allah, he replied that they were ungrateful for the favors and good deeds done for them by their husbands. If a husband has been kind and generous towards his wife but she sees something she does not like in him, she will say she has never received any good from him. This shows her lack of appreciation for all his kindnesses towards her which can lead her to hellfire if it persists. Therefore, it is important for us all to be grateful for what we have been given and show appreciation towards those who have helped us or done us favors so as not to end up in hellfire due to our own ingratitude.
