The Strength of a Woman's Love for Her Husband

SUMMARY: This hadith highlights the strong love a woman has for her husband, which is greater than any other love.

It was narrated from Hamnah bint Jahsh that it was said to her: "Your brother has been killed". She said: "May Allah have mercy on him. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return)". They said: "Your husband has been killed". She said: "O grief!" The Messenger of Allah said: "The woman has a strong love for her husband, which she does not have for anything else".
