The hadeeth was authenticated by Sheikh Al Albani but graded as weak by
other scholars.
I am inclined to weakening it.

Sheikh I need to know if this hadeeth is authentic?[By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were covered from head to foot with weeping sores oozing pus, and his wife were to come to him and lick his sores (to clean them), this would not fulfil the rights he has over her.] Does it mean that no woman can ever fulfil the rights of her husband no matter what she does or how much obedient she tries to be towards him?
