+Muqaatil said "This verse came down in regards to Sa'd bin Rabi' and he was of the Nuqabaa', and his wife Habiba bint Zayd bin Abi Zuhayr, and the two of them were of the Ansar. What happened was that she was disobedient to him and he struck her, then her father set out with her to the prophet--peace and prayers of Allah be upon him--and he said "I gave my daughter to him and he hit her." The prophet--eace and prayers of Allah be upon him--said "let you take vengence from her husband." And she parted with her father to take vengence on him (by her father striking him), the The prophet--eace and prayers of Allah be upon him--said "return, Jibreel peace be upon him has brought me this" and then Allah the most High brought down this verse. Then the prophet--eace and prayers of Allah be upon him--said "We wanted one thing and Allah wanted (another) thing, and what Allah wants is good" and so ends the story.}}Al-Wahidi also gives a second version of the same story:{{Quote|shorturl.at/qvLU7|أخبرنا سعيد بن محمد بن أحمد الزاهد، قال: أخبرنا زاهر بن أحمد، قال: أخبرنا أحمد بن الحسين بن الجنيد، قال: حدَّثنا زياد بن أيوب، قال: حدَّثنا هشيم قال: حدَّثنا يونس عن الحسن:
+أن رجلاً لطم امرأَته فخاصمته إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فجاء معها أهلها فقالوا: يا رسول الله، إِن فلاناً لطم صاحبتنا. فجعل رسول الله يقول: القصاص القصاص. ولا يقضي قضاء، فنزلت هذه الآية: ﴿ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ﴾ فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَردنا أَمراً وأَراد الله غيره.

+ }}He also offers a seemingly abridged 3rd version of the story:{{Quote|shorturl.at/qvLU7|أخبرنا أبو بكر الحارثي، قال: أخبرنا أبو الشيخ الحافظ، قال: حدَّثنا أَبو يحيى الرازي، قال: حدَّثنا سهل العسكري، قال: حدَّثنا علي بن هاشم، عن إسماعيل، عن الحسن، قال:
+لما نزلت آية القصاص بين المسلمين لطم رجل امرأته، فانطلقت إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقالت: إن زوجي لطمني فالقصاص، قال: القصاص، فبينا هو كذلك أَنزل الله تعالى: ﴿ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ﴾ فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: أردنا أمراً فأبى الله تعالى [إلا غيرَه]. خذ أيها الرجل بيد امرأَتك.}}From all of these a general story can be extracted: a man hit his wife, there was a complain against him in the community for this, and Muhammad ordered the punishment of the wife beater. The sources portray this desire of Muhammad to outlaw wife-beating as being opposed by the will of [[Allah (God)]]. Allah sends down this verse in response to these circumstances, showing that contra Muhammad it is the will of Allah that men should beat their own wives if they are disobedient.
