- Several women came to him asking for divorce (lehul), for instance Jamilah
bint Ubayy ibn Salul, Habibah bint Sahl al-Ansariyyah, Barirah, and Thabit
ibn Qays's wife. In this last case, Ibn Abbas recounts that Thabit's wife came
to the Prophet and told him that she had nothing to reproach her husband
with as far as religion was concerned, but that she did not want to be guilty
of infidelity regarding Islam (by failing to respect his rights as a husband or
betraying him through her thoughts or behavior). The Prophet asked her
whether she was willing to return the garden that he had given her as dowry,
and she accepted. The Prophet then asked Thabit to accept the separation
(hadith reportt:d by al-Bukhari). - This is found in a hadith reported by Ahmad. In another hadith reported by
al-Bukhari, an-Nasai, and Ibn Majah, the Prophet is said to have simply can-
celed a marriage contract established without the woman's consent. - "Sometimes," the Prophet had said, "I prepare for prayer, intending to make
it last, but when [during prayer] I hear a child cry, I shorten it for fear of dis-
tressing his mother" (hadith reported by Abu Dawud). - "AI·amr bil·maruf wa an-nal!J an a/-munkar" (sec, e.g., Quran, 22:41).
