'''The Farewell Sermon''' (خطبة الوداع‎, Khuṭbatu l-Wadā') is Prophet [[Muhammad|Muhammad's]] final [[Farewell Sermon|sermon]] to his followers before [[Circumstances Surrounding Muhammad's Death|his death]] in 632 CE. In this authentic sourced version of the sermon (unlike the popular yet [[List_of_Fabricated_Hadith#Muhammad.27s_Farewell_Sermon|fraudulent version]] which has no source) Muhammed's order to [[Wife Beating|beat women]] coincide with the [[Qur'an|Qur'anic]] order of wife-beating in 4:34. He also compares women to domestic [[animals]].

{{Quote|Al-Tirmidhi Hadith, Number 104|Narrated Amr ibn al-Ahwas al-Jushami: Amr heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say in his farewell address on the eve of his Last Pilgrimage, after he had glorified and praised Allah, he cautioned his followers: "Listen! Treat women kindly; '''they are like prisoners in your hands.''' Beyond this you do not owe anything from them. Should they be guilty of flagrant misbehaviour, you may remove them from your beds, and '''beat them''' but do not inflict upon them any severe punishment. Then if they obey you, do not have recourse to anything else against them. Listen! You have your rights upon your wives and they have their rights upon you. Your right is that they shall not allow anyone you dislike, to trample your bed and do not permit those whom you dislike to enter your home. Their right is that you should treat them well in the matter of food and clothing."}}

{{Quote|{{Ibn Majah|9|3|9|1851}}|It was narrated that:
Sulaiman bin Amr bin Ahwas said: “My father told me that he was present on the Farewell pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah. He praised and glorified Allah, and reminder and exhorted (the people). The he said: 'I enjoin good treatment of women, for '''they are prisoners with you''', and you have no right to treat them otherwise, unless they commit clear indecency. If they do that, then '''forsake them in their beds and hit them''', but without causing injury or leaving a mark if they obey you, then do not seek means of annoyance against them. You have rights over your women and you women have rights over you. Your rights over you women are that they are not to allow anyone whom you dislike on treat on your bedding (furniture), not allow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses. And their right over you are that should treat them kindly with regard to their clothing and food.' ” (Sahih)}}

{{Quote|{{Quran|4|34}}|Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, '''and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them'''; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.}}
