أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَعْنَبٌ کُوفِيٌّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ حُرْمَةُ نِسَائِ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَی الْقَاعِدِينَ فِي الْحُرْمَةِ کَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْقَاعِدِينَ يَخْلُفُ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي أَهْلِهِ إِلَّا نُصِبَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ يَا فُلَانُ هَذَا فُلَانٌ فَخُذْ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ مَا شِئْتَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ مَا ظَنُّکُمْ تُرَوْنَ يَدَعُ لَهُ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ شَيْئًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3199
It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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 of Resurrection and it will be said: ‘So-and-so, this is so-and-so, take whatever you want from his good deeds.” Then the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم turned to his Companions and said: “What do you think: Will he leave him any of his good deeds?” (Sahih)
