Description: Surah Al Mujadilah (The Pleading Woman) المجادلة | Recitiation Of Holy Quran | Tilawat Surah These verses speak of one such event that took place before the ruling on this problem, known as zihar,' had been laid down. The details of the case are related in the following hadith quoting the woman at the centre of the case, Khuwaylah bint Tha `labah: It was concerning me and Aws ibn al-Samit that God revealed the opening verses of the surah, The Pleading. I was married to him and he had grown old, with a quick temper. He came in one day and I questioned something he had said. He was angry as a result and said to me, You are to me like my mother's back'. He then went out and sat with his people for some time. He came back later and he indicated that he wanted to have sex. I said: "In no way! By Him who holds Khuwaylah's soul in His hand, you cannot approach me when you have said what you said until God and His Messenger have ruled in our case. He tried to force me, but I overpowered him in the way a woman can overpower a weak old man. I left him and went to one of my neighbours to borrow a dress from her. I went to the Prophet and sat in front of him. I told him what had happened and complained strongly about my husband's bad manners. The Prophet said to me: "Khuwaylah! Your cousin is an old man; so be kind and God-fearing in your treatment of him." Before I left, revelations were bestowed from on high concerning me. The Prophet experienced what he usually experienced when revelations were given to him. Then he came to and said: "Khuwylah! God has revealed Qur'anic verses concerning you and your mate." He then read to me the verses starting with "God has heard the words of the woman who pleads with you concerning her husband and complained to God. God has heard what you both had to say. God hears all and sees all," up to "grievous suffering awaits those who will not believe." The Prophet then said to me: "Tell him to free a slave." I said: "Messenger of God! He does not have the means to do so." He said: "Then let him fast two consecutive months." I said: "He is certainly an old man who cannot fast." He said: "He should then feed sixty poor people with a wisq (A wisq is a measure of volume estimated to weigh about 130 kilogrammes of wheat) of dates." I said: "Messenger of God! By God, he cannot afford that." The Prophet then said: "We will help him, then, with a sack of dates." I said: "Messenger of God! I, too, will help him with another sack." The Prophet said: "That is good and kind of you. Go and give this to charity on his behalf, and take good care of your cousin." I did as the Prophet told me. [Related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud.] This, then, is the case of the woman whose argument with the Prophet God in His majesty heard and listened to. It is on the basis of this case that God pronounced His ruling from on high, giving this woman her right so that she and her husband could be free of worry. He thus showed the Muslims what to do if such a family problem occurred. This is the personal situation that opens a surah of the Qur'an, God's book, whose words are echoed by the universe as they are bestowed from on high. It opens with the statement, ' God has heard the words of the woman who pleads with you concerning her husband. ..' We see here that God is present in this private case of a woman who is a mere individual in the community at large. God is not so preoccupied with conducting the affairs of the universe as not to listen to an individual's case and give His ruling on it. It was indeed a serious matter that such an event should take place and that a community of people should feel that God was present with them as they went about their daily business. He, in His majesty, the Supreme, the Overpowering, to whom belong the heavens and the earth, responds to such ordinary problems; how compassionately overwhelming! A'ishah says: "All praise is due to God who hears all sounds. The pleading woman, Khawlah, came to the Prophet and spoke to him in a corner of my home. I could not hear what she said. Then God revealed that `God has heard the words of the woman who pleads with you concerning her husband. . [Related by al-Bukhari and al-Nasal.] As given by Khawlah — or Khuwaylah, which is a form of endearment —this report and how she went to the Prophet and argued with him, then the verdict given in the Qur'an gives us a picture of the life of this unique community during that amazing period of history. People in that community felt their direct bond with heaven and awaited directives from on high regarding its ordinary affairs. The response was soon forthcoming, often given as people were waiting. Thus the whole community felt that they were God's dependents: He took care of them and they looked for His care just as young children expect to be cared for by their parents.
