Muhammad, A Romantic Husband


From Abu Hurairah, he said: Messenger of Allah said: "The perfect believers are those who have the best behavior, and the best person among you is the best towards his wife." (HR.Tirmidzi, Ibn Hibban, hadith hasan)

Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h was the perfect human figure. On the battlefield he was a general who control tactics and battle strategies. In the community, he is a friend, teacher, and leader. At home, he is a head of household who can bring a sense of security, affection, as well as happiness.

Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h crowned by God as a role model on The Quran Surah: Al Ahzab

لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة لمن كان يرجو الله واليوم الآخر وذكر الله كثيرا

Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.‎ (33:21)

The entire life of the Prophet is a good example for us, including the relation between husband and wife.

One of example on how romantic the Messenger was he kissed his wife before going out to pray. From 'Aisha r.a, "That The Prophet p.b.u.h kissed his wife then went out to pray without ablution first." (Ahmad).


Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h was a very gentle man. He expressed love to his wife with a simple and unpretentious manner. He is also known to be a very romantic husband.

For example, he used to call his wives, with their favorite and beautiful nicknames.

Siti 'Aisha, was called by saying "O Humaira" (O the red rose).

Just imagine, whose wife is not flattered when her husband called them with this calling? Ears who does not want to hear greetings like this?

But the beauty was not created because he was expert in flirting, but because his heart is clean, sincere, beautiful and comes from the bottom of his heart.

From his beautiful heart comes out words, behaviors, and a wonderful attitude. From which he was able to spread kindness and beauty from everything he sees and met.

Indeed, what a beautiful day to day life in the eyes of the prophet. Romanticism does not just apply to his wives, as well as children, even grandmothers and all the creatures of Allah feel it.

The attitude of the Prophet is also demonstrated when looking at nature and the elements around. When looking at the flower petals begin to open, his heart trembled, his heart rejoiced, and then he came to it, kissed it with his lips, and wipes it lovingly. Not to forget, he said: "Aaamu khairin barakatin wa inshallah." (In a good and full of grace, God willing).

Similarly, when he found a crescent moon in the early evening appearance, he did not forget to greet it with joy. Optimistically he said: "Hilaalu khairin baarakatin wa inshallah." (The beginning of a good and full of grace, God willing).

That’s Messenger of Allah, our example from God.

Even though as a leader he was super busy with the community, but he did not forget to establish intimacy with his wives. He even did not hesitate to shower together with his wife.
In a memoir, he bath together with Siti 'Aisha r.a in a bathroom with the same tub.

From 'Aisha r.a, she said, "I had a shower from jinabat with the Messenger of Allah with a same bowl of water, our hands are always turns to fetch water." (HR Mutafaqun' alaih).

In a narration of Ibn Hibban, he added, "And our hands touch".

Prophet teaches us, bathing with his wife is not a humiliating thing. If it is considered disgraceful, the Prophet p.b.u.h would not do it.
