RewardsMediation for Marriage
Mediation for marriage is commendable, especially when we are aware of the good character and behavior of both parties. This is mentioned in various Hadiths and verses from the Quran, and a great reward is promised for this action, which we will discuss further in this religious context.SelMagzWe will refer to them.
Imam Sadiq (A):
Whoever facilitates the marriage of a single person will be among those whom Allah looks upon with mercy on the Day of Judgment. (Al-Kafi, Vol. 5, p. 331)
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):
Whoever witnesses the marriage of a Muslim man and woman will be enveloped in divine mercy, receive the reward of a thousand martyrs, gain the reward of a prophet for each step taken, and for every word spoken to reconcile the parties, they will be rewarded as if they worshipped for a year, and they will return home only after being forgiven. (Irshad al-Qulub)
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):
Whoever helps his brother in faith marry a woman who brings him comfort and increases his ease will, in paradise, be married to beautiful maidens, and he will have companionship with any of the righteous descendants of the Prophet (PBUH) or his friends as he desires. (Mustadrak al-Wasail)
Commander of the Faithful (A):
The best form of intercession is to mediate in marriage between two people so that Allah brings them together. (Wasail al-Shi’a)
The Importance of Marriage in the Words of the Quran and the Hadiths of the Imams
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):
Among the rights of a child over their father are three things: to choose a good name, to teach him literacy, and to marry him when he reaches the age of maturity. (Makarem al-Akhlaq)
The value of a wife (woman) in the home is such that she is considered a factor of peace for a man’s life. (He created from it a mate so he may find comfort with her… Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 189)
Talking with one’s spouse is also considered a good deed, and even two units of prayer performed by a married person is superior to worship performed all night by a single person. A Hadith states that one unit of prayer of a married man is better than seventy units performed by a single man (Al-Muqni’a, p. 497).
Imam Sadiq (A) said:
My father asked a man: Do you have a wife?
The man replied: No.
My father said: It does not please me that the world and everything in it belongs to me while I spend a night without a wife.
Then he added: Two units of prayer performed by a married man are superior to the worship of a single man who spends his entire night in devotion and fasts during the day.
My father then gave him seven gold coins and said: Use this money to get married.
He then narrated from the Messenger of God (PBUH) that: Marry, as it indeed brings you more sustenance. Couples have numerous rights over each other, and observing these rights leads to a sweet and harmonious life. (Al-Kafi, Vol. 5, p. 50)
