The answer

A number of women complained about their husbands to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and Khawla bint Tha'laba was one of them. She complained about her husband to him, peace and blessings be upon him. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: "Blessed be He Whose hearing encompasses all things. Indeed, I heard the words of Khawla bint Tha'laba, but some of them were hidden from me, while she was complaining about her husband to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. She was saying: 'O Messenger of Allah, I gave him my youth and bore him many children, until when I grew old and my childbearing ceased, he pronounced Dhihar upon me. O Allah, I complain to You...' She did not leave until Jibreel descended with these verses: 'Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you concerning her husband and complains to Allah.' [Al-Mujadila: 1]."
