Firstly, I apologize because it looks like it wasn't you that blocked me, but rather the maker of the content. Glad to see you're open to discussion Anyway, let's get into this. It's likely that neither of us will change the other's opinion, but as long as it's kept friendly, I enjoy dialogue.

I'm gonna go in order of offense then defense on the subject. Firstly, the Prophet pbuh absolutely despised lying, and if he were caught directly lying in front of others, this would've literally contradicted the whole faith that people view today. Do you really think that he directly lied (and didn't follow the Quran) given this information?:

The following Noble Verses and Sayings from the Noble Quran and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him respectively seem to very well support the above interpretation:

"...Do not retain them (i.e., your wives) to harm them..."(The Noble Quran, 2:231)

"If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men's souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practise self-restraint, God is well-acquainted with all that ye do." (The Noble Quran, 4:128)

Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri: "I went to the Apostle of Allah (peacebeuponhim) and asked him: What do you say (command) about our wives? He replied: Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them." (Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 11, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Number 2139) <-- classed as Sahih (meaning it's authentic, like what's in Bukhari and Muslim)

Defense:
4:2127 It said in the hadith that they went from their home to Jannatul Baqi - that is a VERY long distance. The hadith itself continues to mention that she ran_ back home and she was breathing heavily. When people breath quickly, heart rate, blood pressure, etc. increase, so even if you give an incredibly small push on someone's chest, they'll feel some pain. Feel free to test this on yourself, as it's a recorded phenomenon. This is supported by what I said about 4:34 earlier which dictated that it was supposed to be incredibly light. She didn't say she fell back or that the hit was exceptionally hard. She literally only said she felt pain, signifying that even though she did, it wasn't a lot.


AISHA EVEN SAID HERSELF:
Aaishah (Radhiallahu 'Anha) herself said: Allaah's Messenger (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) never hit anything with his hand ever, except when fighting in the path of Allaah. Nor did he ever hit a servant or a woman." [Recorded by Musnad Ishaq bin Rawahiya no: 698, Ibn Maajah Kitab al Nikah hadeeth no: 1984 Al-Albaanee said it is Saheeh.] <-- also meaning authentic

Thus, it was a light push and nothing more.

Bukhari Book 7 Volume 72 Hadith 715:
This hadith is clearly about a ruling on a marital issue. It doesn't deal with the consequences the guy got as a result of this. I don't know if there were any, and it's likely that we'll never know unless one of us can uncover a different hadith talking about the ruling on what happened regarding whether or not he was punished.

Bukhari 6:301

I skimmed over this explanation and it looked alright.


In Islam, it's not about one being above the other, as we're all on one level under God. Our deeds are judged equally. It's a yin and yang type situation between men and women in Islam in which one helps the other be great and it comes from both ends.
