3490. It was narrated from 'Aishah that she said: "Praise be to Allâh Whose hearing encompasses all voices. Khawlah came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ complaining about her husband, but I could not hear what she said. Then Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'Indeed Allâh has heard the statement of her that disputes with you concerning her husband, and complains to Allâh. And Allâh hears the argument between you both.'"[2] (Ṣaḥîh)

Commentary
Khawla's husband had also declared Zihâr to her. She thought she had perhaps become forbidden for her husband. It moreover causes humiliation to the Children. Allâh, Most High, prescribed expiation out of His infinite mercy. He did not render the wife unlawful. And praise be to Allâh!
