Al-Shaybani said that Hammad did not consider retaliation permissible between men and women for a wound less than a life. And al-Hakam said: "We have not heard any hadith about this concerning them both, and retaliation between them is indeed good."

Jarir bin Hazim said that al-Hasan al-Basri said: "A man slapped his wife on the face, and the woman came seeking retaliation. At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled retaliation between them, and upon this Allah Almighty revealed this verse: 'And do not hasten with the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you.' [Ta-Ha: 114] And this verse came down: 'Men are guardians and protectors over women because Allah has favoured some people over others.' [An-Nisa: 34]"

Al-Qasim bin al-Fadl al-Huddani said that Muhammad bin Ziyad said: "My grandmother was the umm walad of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him). When Sayyiduna Uthman died, the son of Uthman wounded her. She mentioned this to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Umar said to him: 'Pay her the compensation for what you have done to her.'"
