The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) boycotting his wives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) boycott his wives because of their marital defiance? And was his abstention from entering their homes for a month an abstention from speaking and from dividing his time among them?
Answer:
We asked him for things, we asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for things he could not fulfill, so we angered him (peace and blessings be upon him). So he boycotted them and withdrew to a place for a period of one month. Yes, this was a form of discipline, this was a form of discipline for them. Then he gave them a choice, he gave them a choice between remaining as his wives in Paradise or being divorced. So they chose Allah and His Messenger.[Al-Ahzab 33:28-29]. When these two verses were revealed to him, he gathered them and gave them a choice; they chose Allah and His Messenger and the Hereafter. Yes.

(28) O Prophet, say to your wives, "If you should desire the worldly life and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and give you a gracious release. (29) But if you should desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter - then indeed, Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward."
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ إِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا وَإِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
