QUOTING ISLAM

To help people assess Islam, this site presents core Islamic texts. So readers can verify that we are correctly presenting these, each text includes reference links. The links lead in some cases to passages in a Qur'an-and-Hadith database at a university, in other cases to the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad. When citing the Hadith, we cite only the canonical collections, whose reports most Muslim scholars of Islam deem authentic.

Muhammad says beat your wife, no questions asked

In Sunan Abu Dawud, a canonical hadith collection:

Book 11, Number 2142:
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.
