"Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (radhiyallahu anhu) narrates that a woman came to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said: 'I am a delegate from the women to you. Allah Ta'ala has made Fardh this Jihad upon men. If they are victorious (in the Jihad) they obtain thawab. If they are martyred, then too, by Allah Ta'ala they are alive, and are granted sustenance. But, we women are engaged in service of men. What is the thawab for us in this service (to men)? Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: 'Inform every woman you meet that obedience to the husband and the fulfilment of his rights are equal to the thawab of Jihad,' Indeed, few among you women fulfil this Fardh properly.” (Hikayatus Sahabah Vol. 3)
