Sahih Ibn Hibban 4279

Translation

✧ Concerning 'By Allah' and concerning Aws b. al-Samit, Allah, Mighty and Exalted, revealed the beginning of Surat al-Mujadilah. She said: I was with him, and he was a very old man, ill-tempered and irritable. One day he came in to me, and I argued with him about something, and he became angry and said, "You are to me like my mother's back." Then he went out and sat in the gathering place of his people for a while, then came back to me and wanted me for himself. I said, "No, by the One in whose hand is the soul of Khuwaylah, you will not reach me after what you have said until Allah and His Messenger judge between us." She said: Then he pounced on me, and I resisted him, overpowering him as a woman overpowers a weak old man, and I threw him beneath me. Then I went out to one of my neighbors and borrowed clothes from her, then I went out until I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sat before him. I mentioned to him what I had encountered from him, complaining about his ill temper. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ began saying, "O Khuwaylah, your cousin is a very old man, so fear Allah concerning him." She said: By Allah, I did not leave until the Quran was revealed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was overcome by what used to overcome him, then it was lifted from him, and he said, "O Khuwaylah, Allah, Mighty and Exalted, has revealed concerning you and your companion." She said: Then he recited to me: {Allah has heard the words of the one who argues with you concerning her husband and complains to Allah} up to His saying {and for the disbelievers is a painful punishment}. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Tell him to free a slave." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, he has nothing to free." He said, "Then let him fast two consecutive months." I said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, he is a very old man, not capable of fasting." He said, "Then let him feed sixty poor people a wasq of dates." I said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, he does not have that." She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then we will help him with an araq of dates." She said: I said, "And I, O Messenger of Allah, will help him with another araq." He said, "You have done well and excelled; go and give charity on his behalf, then advise your cousin well." She said: So I did.
