Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5193
This hadith about husband and wife marital rights gives a serious warning. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that if a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses to come, the angels send curses on her until morning. The wording focuses on refusing the husband’s invitation to marital closeness. It shows that the marriage bond includes duties and that ignoring those duties is not treated lightly in the text. The hadith does not mention a long list of cases or extra details, so the explanation should stay with the exact words given.
