Commentary 58:1 According to the Islamic Books of Traditions the woman whose petition was heard by Allâh was Khoulah, daughter of Tha‘lab. Her husband Aus bin Sâmit had…
قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا
58:1 According to the Islamic Books of Traditions the woman whose petition was heard by Allâh was Khoulah, daughter of Tha‘lab. Her husband Aus bin Sâmit had said to her in his anger, “You are as unlawful to me as the back of my mother”. This practice was called zihârظهار. In old Arab custom, when zihâr was announced, all conjugal relations between the husband and his wife ceased and the wife remained as a suspended woman, neither divorced nor enjoying the status of a wife. Khoulah came to the Holy Prophet (pbuh), complained to him of her situation, and sought his help. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) pleaded his inability to do anything for her, as it was his habit that he would not give his decision on matters where there was no Qur’ânic injunction. Khoulah in the height of her frustration began to call for Allâh’s help, raising piteous cries in prayer. Thereupon the verses were revealed to the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in which the evil practice of zihârظهار was sharply denounced.
