'Utbah bin 'Amir Narrated from:

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3281
This hadith teaches a clear lesson about marriage conditions in Islam. The Messenger of Allah said that the conditions most deserving of fulfillment are the ones connected to making marital intimacy lawful. In simple words, marriage is not only a ceremony or a social agreement. It also carries promises, terms, and responsibilities. When a person accepts conditions in marriage, those conditions should not be treated lightly. This hadith about fulfilling marriage agreements reminds believers that honesty and trust matter deeply in family life. The wording focuses on the marriage bond itself, so the explanation should stay close to that point: agreed conditions tied to marriage deserve careful respect and fulfillment.
What we learn from this hadith
- Marriage conditions should be taken seriously when they are agreed upon.
- Promises connected to marriage deserve special care and honesty.
- The hadith links lawful marital intimacy with responsible fulfillment of terms.
- A Muslim should avoid treating marriage agreements as casual words.
