What is the authenticity of the following two hadiths: "A woman asked the Messenger of Allah, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, about visiting her family during her husband's absence, and he ordered her to obey him. Then her father fell ill, then he died and was buried, and each time he ordered her to obey her husband. Then he said to her: 'Indeed, your reward is good,'" and "If prostration to other than Allah were not disbelief, I would have commanded a woman to prostrate to her husband"?
The first Hadith mentioned in the question: It was narrated by Al-Tabarani from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah forgave a woman's father because of her obedience to her husband. This Hadith was graded weak by Al-Haythami and Al-Albani.
As for the second Hadith: It was narrated by Al-Tirmidhi from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband." This Hadith was authenticated by Ibn Hibban and Al-Albani, and several other Hadiths convey a similar meaning.
