• In a hadith reported from the Prophet, he said: "Paradise is verily under the foot of the woman."This hadith is recorded in books of hadith with other versions, like: "Paradise is under the feet of mothers," and: "Construction of paradise is under feet of mothers."
• In regard of honoring the women, the Prophet (s.a.) said: "The best of you are those who be too kind to their wives."
• He also said: "None honoring the women but the magnanimous, and none insulting them but the mean depraved one."
• The noteworthy point here is that our religious leaders have, in their last testaments and in most critical situations, recommended to respect rights and dignity of women.
• In the last year of his age and in his Farewell Pilgrimage "hajjat alwadaa'", which was attended by a huge multitude of people, the Messenger of Allah addressed people saying:
"O mankind, your wives have right over you and you have right over them... so fear you the wrath of God, in respect of the women, and recommend to them all the good."
• Imam Ali (a.s.), after being stroked on the nineteenth night of Month of Ramadan, has summoned his children giving them and all people throughout history, precious recommendations, among which the following maxim was also cited: “I recommend you to observe your duty to Allah in regard of the women”.
• It has also been narrated that:
A man came to the Prophet and said: “O’ Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship?” The Prophet said: “Your mother.”
The man said: “Then who?” The Prophet said: “Then your mother.”
The man further asked: “Then who?” The Prophet said: “Then your mother.”
The man asked again: “Then who?” The Prophet said: “Then your father.”
