Sunan an-Nasai 2132 (Book 22, Hadith 43) #16743
Reprimand of Allah to Prophet Muhammad's Wives

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's two wives, Aishah and Hafsah, who were reprimanded by Allah for their actions. The Prophet Muhammad was so upset with them that he vowed not to enter upon them for a month. However, when twenty-nine days had passed, he entered upon 'Aishah and explained that the month is twenty-nine days.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "I was very keen to ask 'Umar bin Al-Khattab about the two wives of the Messenger of Allah to whom Allah said: If you two turn in repentance to Allah, (it will be better for you), your hearts are indeed so inclined". And he quoted the Hadith. He said concerning it:' "The from his wives for twenty-nine days because of that, when Hafsah had made her disclosure to Aishah. He had said: 'I will not enter upon them for a month,' because he was so upset with them when Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, informed him of what they had said. When twenty-nine days had passed, he entered upon 'Aishah, so he started with her. Aishah, said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, you swore not to enter upon us for a month, and now twenty-nine days have passed; we have been counting them'. The Messenger of Allah said; 'The month is twenty-nine days"'.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about an incident between the Prophet Muhammad and his two wives Aishah and Hafsah. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said that Umar bin Al-Khattab informed him of what happened between the three of them. Apparently, Allah reprimanded both Aishah and Hafsah for their actions which made the prophet so upset with them that he vowed not to enter upon them for a month as punishment. However, after twenty-nine days had passed, he entered upon Aishah and explained why it was only twenty-nine days instead of thirty; because according to Islamic calendar a month is only twenty nine days long. This incident teaches us how important it is to obey God’s commands even if we don't understand why He has asked us to do something or refrain from doing something at first glance; because He knows best what’s good for us in this life as well as in hereafter.
