Sayyidah Khawlah bint Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was married to Sayyiduna Aws bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), the brother of Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), related: One day he came in to me and spoke to me about something while he was in a somewhat irritable state. I answered him back, so he said: You are to me like the back of my mother. Then he went out and sat down, then called out to his people, then came back to me and wanted to satisfy his desire with me. I refused him; he struggled with me and I struggled with him, and I overpowered him the way a woman overpowers a weak man. I said: No, by the One in whose hand is the soul of Khuwaylah! You will not reach her until Allah judges concerning me and you. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to complain to him of what I had suffered from him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is your husband and your cousin, so fear Allah." Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Allah has indeed heard the statement of the woman who disputes with you concerning her husband and complains to Allah" [Surah al-Mujadalah: 1], until the expiation was mentioned. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell him to free a slave." I said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, he has no slave to free. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then let him fast two consecutive months." I said: O Messenger of Allah, he is a very old man; by Allah, he has no strength to fast. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then let him feed sixty poor people." I said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, he has nothing with which to feed them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, we will help him with a basket ('araq) of dates." And the 'araq is a large basket that holds thirty sa'. I said: And I will help him with another basket. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have done well; tell him to give it in charity."
