One morning we saw the wives of the Prophet weeping, and everyone of them had her family
with her, I went to the mosque and found that it was crowded with people. Then ‘Umar bin Al-Khat –
tab came and went up to the Prophet who was in his upper room. He greeted him but nobody
answered. He greeted again, but nobody answered. Then the gatekeeper called him and he entered
upon the Prophet, and asked, “Have you divorced your wives?” The Prophet, said, “No, but I have
taken an oath not to go to them for one month.” So the Prophet stayed away (from his wives) for
twenty nine days and then entered upon them.

An Ansari woman gave her daughter in marriage and the hair of the latter started falling out. The
Ansari women came to the Prophet and mentioned that to him and said, “Her (my daughter’s) hus –

Narrated Aisha:
regarding the Verse: ‘If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband’s part …’) (4.128) It con –
cerns the woman whose husband does not want to keep her with him any longer, but wants to di –
vorce her and marry some other lady, so she says to him: ‘Keep me and do not divorce me, and then
marry another woman, and you may neither spend on me, nor sleep with me.’ This is indicated by
the Statement of Allah: ‘There is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between
them both, and (such) settlement is better.” (4.128)
