What is the warning for a husband who is unjust and leans towards one wife?
The Prophet ﷺ gave a stern warning: a husband who has two wives and inclines towards one of them will come on the Day of Judgement with one side of his body leaning.
This hadith is narrated by Abu Dawud (2133) with a sahih chain. The inclination meant is injustice in matters within one's control, such as the rotation, maintenance and treatment, not the feeling of love in the heart. This threat shows that injustice in polygyny is a major sin punished in the Hereafter, besides being actionable in this world through the Syariah Court. Therefore, whoever is not confident of being just should be content with one wife, as Surah an-Nisa' verse 3 advises. See Fiqh of polygyny.
