188. It was narrated that 'Aïshah said: "Praise is to Allāh Whose hearing encompasses all voices. The woman who disputed concerning her husband (Al-Mujādilah) came to the Prophet ﷺ when I was (sitting) in a corner of the house, and she complained about her husband, but I did not hear what she said. Then Allāh revealed: 'Indeed Allāh has heard the statement of her that disputes with you concerning her husband.'"[1] (Sahih)
188 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَسِعَ سَمْعُهُ الْأَصْوَاتَ، لَقَدْ جَاءَتِ الْمُجَادِلَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ، تَشْكُو زَوْجَهَا، وَمَا أَسْمَعُ مَا تَقُولُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا} [المجادلة: 1] "

a. Inclusion of this Hadith in this chapter is intended to confirm Allāh's attribute of hearing. It may, however, be pointed out that Allāh's attributes are totally unlike human attributes. Even the slightest sound anywhere in the universe is not outside His hearing because, like other attributes, His attribute of hearing is also limitless. b. The Prophet ﷺ only followed the ordainments of Allāh. He never permitted or prohibited anything except by Allāh's command and permission. Therefore, he only gave the answer after he received the revelation from Allāh.
