The Passage of Forty Days
Forty days had now passed without any Revelation being sent down concerning the
three, when a messenger from the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) came to Ka‟b
telling him from now on he must not associate with his wife. Ka'b asked whether Hilal
and Murarah had received similar messages and was told they had. He wondered if the
message meant he should divorce his wife, so he asked the messenger if that was what
it meant, but the messenger told him it did not, so Ka‟b told his wife to go and stay with
her parents.

In the meantime, Hilal's wife had gone to the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) to
intercede for her husband. She told him that the only reason she had come was because
Hilal was old and incapable of taking care of himself, so the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi
wa sallam), in his mercy, permitted her to stay and look after him.
Good News
