Nushuz Done By Husband To Wife
Hisham b. ‘Urwah: On the authority of his father that ‘Aishah said: O my nephew, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not prefer one of us to the other in respect of his division of the time of his staying with us. It was very rare that he did not visit us any day (i.e. he visited all of us every day). He would come near each of his wives without having intercourse with her until he reached the one who had her day and passed his night with her. When Saudah daughter of Zam’ah became old and feared that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would divorce her, she said: Messenger of Allah, I give to ‘Aishah the day you visit me. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) accepted it from her. She said: We think that Allah, the Exalted, revealed about this or similar matter the Qur’anic verse: “If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband’s part….” [4:128] https://sunnah.com/abudawud:2135 Does that mean the Madh Allah Prophet pbuh had done nushuz (means he doesn’t take care of his responsibilities.)?
A Hadith cannot be accepted if it contradicts the Holy Quran or if contains ridiculous content. To even think that the Holy Prophet could do any injustice to anyone let alone his wives, is blasphemy in my mind. We have faith that the Holy Prophet was the pinnacle of humanity, therefore Allah called his behaviour as “Usva-e-Husna ”. How can you think that he could commit any nushuz.
