Hadith 2219

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، أَنَّ جَمِيلَةَ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ أَوْسِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا بِهِ لَمَمٌ ، فَكَانَ إِذَا اشْتَدَّ لَمَمُهُ ظَاهَرَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ كَفَّارَةَ الظِّهَارِ " .
Narrated Hisham bin Urwah: Khawlah was the wife of Aws ibn as-Samit; he was a man immensely given to sexual intercourse. When his desire for intercourse was intensified, he made his wife like his mother's back. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down Quranic verses relating to expiation for zihar.

This Jameelah is the same woman who was previously mentioned by the name Khawilah.
Either she had two names, or she was called Jameelah due to her beauty.
(‘Awn al-Ma‘bood) And Allah knows best.
