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'labah, but some of her words were not clear to me, when she complained to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about her husband, and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, 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 Zihâr upon me; O Allâh, I complain to You.' She continued to complain until Jibra'il brought down these Verses: 'Indeed Allâh has heard the statement of she who pleads with you (O Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complains to Allâh.'"[1] (Sahih)

Commentary
a. Allāh ﷻ has the Attribute of Hearing, and His Hearing is not limited like His creatures, rather it is limitless.
b. Khawlah ﷺ made mention of her old age, that had she been young, it would have been easier for her to marry another person; or someone would marry her because of her young age with the hope of bearing children from her and thus looking after the children would become easier for her.
