ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2063
It was narrated from 'Urwah bin Zubair, that 'Aishah said: "Blessed is the One Whose hearing encompasses all things. I heard some of the words of Khawlah bint Tha'Iabah, but some of her words were not clear to me, when she complained to the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H about her husband, and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, he has consumed my youth and I split my belly for him (i.e., bore him many children), but when I grew old and could no longer bear children, he declared Zihar upon me; 0 Allah, I complain to You.' She continued to complain until Jibrai l brought down these Verses: 'Indeed Allah has heard the statement of she who pleads with you (0 Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complains to Allah.'' (Sahih)
