Sunan Ibn Majah 4003 (Book 36, Hadith 78) #33358
The Importance of Charity and Gratitude for Women

SUMMARY: Women should give charity, pray for forgiveness, and be grateful to their husbands in order to avoid going to Hell.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O women, give in charity and pray a great deal for forgiveness, for I have seen that you form the majority of the people of Hell". A woman who was very wise said: "Why is it, O Messenger of Allah, that we form the majority of the people of Hell?" He said: "You curse a great deal and you are ungrateful to your husbands, and I have never seen anyone lacking in discernment and religion more overwhelming to a man of wisdom than you". She said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is this lacking in discernment and religion?" He said: "The lack of discernment is the fact that the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man; this is the lack of reason. And (a woman) spends several nights when she does not pray, and she does not fast in Ramadhan, and this is the lack in religion".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَأَكْثِرْنَ مِنَ الاِسْتِغْفَارِ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ جَزْلَةٌ وَمَا لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالَ ‏"‏ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِذِي لُبٍّ مِنْكُنَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ فَشَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَعْدِلُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ فَهَذَا مِنْ نُقْصَانِ الْعَقْلِ وَتَمْكُثُ اللَّيَالِيَ مَا تُصَلِّي وَتُفْطِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَهَذَا مِنْ نُقْصَانِ الدِّينِ

Give charity & Pray a great deal for forgiveness

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of charity and gratitude for women. It was narrated by Abdullah bin Umar that the Prophet Muhammad said that women should give in charity and pray a great deal for forgiveness, as he had seen that they form the majority of people in Hell. A wise woman asked why this was so, and he replied that it was because they curse a lot and are ungrateful to their husbands. He also said that women lack discernment because two female testimonies are equal to one male testimony, as well as religion because they do not pray or fast during Ramadan. Therefore, it is important for women to practice charity and gratitude in order to avoid going to Hell.
