Allah has surely heard the word of Khawla bint Tha'laba who pleaded regarding her husband Aws bin as-Samit, and in what issued from him in her right of the Zihar, and it is his word to her: "You are to me like the back of my mother," meaning: in the sanctity of the marriage, while she is pleading to Allah the Exalted; for the relief of her distress, while Allah hears the addressing of you both and the reviewing of you both. Indeed Allah is All-Hearing for every word, All-Seeing with every thing, no hidden thing is hidden from Him.
