And We said to him: "Take in your hand a bundle of rushes, then strike with it your wife as a fulfillment of your oath, so do not break the oath"; for he had sworn that he would surely strike her a hundred lashes if Allah healed him, when he was angry with her over a minor matter during his illness, and she was a righteous woman, so Allah had mercy on her and had mercy on him with this ruling. Indeed, We found Job patient over the trial; an excellent servant he was, indeed he was one who returned frequently to the obedience of Allah.
