Jafer(RA), a companion of Prophet Muhammad at the court of a Christian King

in Abyssinia :

Your majesty! We were ignorant

people, worshipping idols, eating
carrion, oppressing neighbors,
brother fighting brother, the strong
dominating the weak, when amidst
us was raised a man (Muhammad)
whose nobility, integrity and
trustworthiness were already well-
known
He called us to worship God
alone... he commanded us to speak
the truth, to honor our promises, to
be kind to our relations, to be
helpful to our neighbors, to cease
all forbidden acts, to abstain from
bloodshed, to avoid obscenities and
false witness.

 Message for Men: O Brothers

It is true that you have certain rights in regard to your women, but
they also have rights over you.
Remember that you have taken them as your wives, only under
Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then
to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness.
Do treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your
partners and committed helpers.
And it is your right that they do not make friends with anyone of
whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.
