If the husband patiently endures his wife's ill-temper, he will be rewarded for it, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "No believing man should hate a believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another." The husband must treat his disobedient wife in accordance with Allah's commands, and he must awaken her for prayer and guide her in matters of her religion because he is responsible for her.
