A Woman Cannot Escape Her Jealousy

In the Ṣahihayn is the narration of Ayesha رضیﷲ عنہا that Rasoolallah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to her:

 إنِّي أَعْرِفُ إذَا كُنْت رَاضِيَةً عَنِّي وَإِذَا كُنْت عَلَيَّ غَضْبَى

 I know when you are pleased with me or angry with me.

قَالَتْ: فَقُلْت: وَمِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ؟

I said, “When do you know that?”

قَالَ: أَمَّا إذَا كُنْت عَنِّي رَاضِيَةً فَإِنَّك تَقُولِينَ: لَا وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَإِذَا كُنْت غَضْبَى قُلْت: لَا وَرَبِّ إبْرَاهِيمَ

He said: When you are pleased with me, you say, “No, by the Lord of Muḥammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم” But when you are angry with me, then you say, “No, by the Lord of Ibrahim عليه السلام.”

Thereupon I said, “Yes you are right but by Allah, Ya Rasoolallah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, I leave nothing but your name.”

قُلْت: أَجَلْ وَاَللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَهْجُرُ إلَّا اسْمَك»

Al Qadi Iyad رحمہ اللہ said: 

مُغَاضَبَةُ عَائِشَةَ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - هُوَ مِمَّا سَبَقَ مِنْ الْغَيْرَةِ الَّتِي عُفِيَ عَنْهَا لِلنِّسَاءِ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ الْأَحْكَامِ لِعَدَمِ انْفِكَاكِهِنَّ مِنْهَا

Sayyidah Ayesha رضیﷲ عنہا being angry with the Mohammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was because of her jealousy the consequences for which women are generally pardoned due to it being something they cannot disassociate themselves from.

حَتَّى قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَغَيْرُهُ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ: يَسْقُطُ عَنْهَا الْحَدُّ إذَا قَذَفَتْ زَوْجَهَا بِالْفَاحِشَةِ عَلَى جِهَةِ الْغَيْرَةِ

So much so that Imam Malik and other than him have said: ”If a woman accuses her husband of adultery (Zinah) out of al girah (jealousy), she cannot be punished."

[Ibn Muflih al Adab Al Shariyah wa al Minah al Mariyah 1/248]
