Sunan Ibn Majah 2075 (Book 10, Hadith 60) #31427
Love in Unconditional Circumstances

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was amazed by the love of a slave for his wife and her hatred for him, and he interceded on behalf of the slave to take his wife back.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The husband of Barirah was a slave called Mughith. It is as if I can see him now, walking behind her and weeping, with tears running down his cheeks. The Prophet said to 'Abbas: 'O Abbas, are you not amazed by the love of Mughith for Barirah, and the hatred of Barirah for Mughith?' And the Prophet said to her: Why don’t you take him back, for he is the father of your child?' She said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are you commanding me (to do so)?' He said: 'No, rather I am interceding'. She said: 'I have no need of him'. "
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ زَوْجُ بَرِيرَةَ عَبْدًا يُقَالُ لَهُ مُغِيثٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ يَطُوفُ خَلْفَهَا وَيَبْكِي وَدُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ عَلَى خَدِّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ لِلْعَبَّاسِ ‏"‏ يَا عَبَّاسُ أَلاَ تَعْجَبُ مِنْ حُبِّ مُغِيثٍ بَرِيرَةَ وَمِنْ بُغْضِ بَرِيرَةَ مُغِيثًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ لَوْ رَاجَعْتِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَبُو وَلَدِكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا أَشْفَعُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ لاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for unconditional love with your spouse regardless of any difficulties you may face together. Respect your partner's feelings and be compassionate towards them in all situations.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the unconditional love between a husband and wife, even when they are in difficult circumstances. The husband was a slave called Mughith who loved his wife Barirah very much, but she did not feel the same way towards him. The Prophet saw this situation and was amazed by it. He then interceded on behalf of Mughith to take Barirah back as she had given birth to their child. Even though Barirah refused, it showed that the Prophet valued unconditional love between spouses no matter what their circumstances were. This teaches us that we should always strive to have unconditional love for our spouses even if we are facing difficult times or situations together.
