I think the biggest red flag in me is isolation. How I Isolate myself when something is hurting me because I don't want to be a burden on someone else. It's just that I think I prefer to cry in silence rather than beating the drums Out loud. And then after the isolation I just come out And pretend that nothing ever happened. It's kinda ironic Because I give the exact opposite advice to my friends. When in actuality, I should listen to my own advice.

YOUR WIFE IS THE MOST DESERVING OF YOUR GOOD BEHAVIOUR

From Abu Hurairah [رضي الله عنه] that Prophet [ﷺ] said:

«إن أكمل المؤمنين إيماناً أحسنهم خُلقاً، وخياركم خياركم لنسائكم.»

❝The most complete of the Believers in their Eemaan are those who have the best manners, and the best of you are those who are best to their women.❞

[collected By Tirmidhi | Ahmad | Sh. Al-Albani: 'Saheeh' In Silsilah Saheehah, (No. 284)]

Shaykh Muhammad Bin Salih Al-Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:

❝Regarding the saying of the Prophet [ﷺ]: ‘The best of you…’ This person is the best of the people, he is the best of them to his wife. So if you have any goodness, then make that goodness for the closest of the people to you, and make it so that your wife is the first to benefit from this good.

And this is the opposite of what some people do today, you find that he has bad manners with his wife, and has good behavior with other people, and this is a great mistake.

Your wife has the most right to good behavior, and having the best manners to them, because she is the one who is with you day and night, openly and secretly. If you are afflicted with something she is afflicted along with you, and if your happy, she is happy along with you, if your sad, she is sad along with you, therefore you should make your dealings with her better than your dealings with strangers, so the best of the people are those who are best of them to their wives.

I ask Allaah to complete my Eemaan and that of the Muslims, and that he makes us the best of the slaves of Allaah to our wives and upon those who have a right upon us.❞

All week I wanted to talk to you about this small sad thing […] these details, which make up a poem, a life, & could help you know me. All this time, I wanted you to understand the emptying in me, below the earth, where someone was singing.
