رابطه با پیامبر ﷺ
Aws ibn al-Samit's connection to the Prophet came indirectly through his wife Khawla's appeal — a reminder that the Prophet was accessible to everyone in the community, including women facing injustice. The Prophet's compassionate reception of Khawla's complaint and the subsequent divine revelation show the intimate pastoral role the Prophet played in the lives of his community members.

زندگینامه کامل
Aws ibn al-Samit al-Ansari was a companion from the Khazraj tribe of Medina and the brother of the famous companion Ubada ibn al-Samit. He is notably remembered in connection with the Quranic passage about zihar (a pre-Islamic form of divorce where a man would compare his wife's back to his mother's, rendering her permanently forbidden to him). His wife Khawla bint Tha'laba came to the Prophet to complain about this, and the verses of Surah al-Mujadila (58:1-4) were revealed.
The story of Aws and Khawla is one of the most powerful examples of the Quran responding to an individual's plea for justice. Khawla argued her case persistently and was ultimately vindicated. Aws's situation and the resulting Quranic ruling abolished a cruel pre-Islamic practice and provided a just remedy — expiation — for couples in such circumstances.
Aws ibn al-Samit participated in the Battle of Badr and other key campaigns. His family connection to Ubada ibn al-Samit, one of the leading scholars and companions, adds to the significance of their household in early Islamic history.
