It says:
SAD 38:44
44) "and take in thy hand a little grass, and smite therewith: and break not (thy oath)." truly we found him full of patience and constancy. How excellent in our service! Ever did he turn (to Allah)!"
This verse talks about Job's vowed to flog his wife 100 lashes but Allah made a pleasant compromise.
Job's oath:
He was angry at his wife. It is said that it was because in one occasion she was late in coming to him when he was very ill. It is also said that she said something which did not please Allah like why Allah made you very ill like that. Anyway, Job vowed that if Allah were to cure him, he would flog his wife 100 lashes. Job was a Prophet.
A Prophet never lies and must keep his word.
Allah made a pleasant compromise:
Allah healed Job and he became normal. Job wanted to flog his wife 100 lashes one by one. Allah, the Merciful, does not like Job to hurt his wife. Allah commanded Job to take in his hand a bunch of twigs, or some blades of grass of 100 spikes of grain (and smite gently with it his wife. So he took a hundred rushes and smote her with them once [and that sufficed to fulfill his oath]. Hence, Job kept his word and did not break his oath. Then Allah Honors Job because he 1) he was steadfast in trial, 2) he was an excellent servant, 3) he was ever turning in repentance to Allah, 4) he was ever obedient to Allah and betaking himself to Allah's obedience.
This meaningful story is not mentioned in the Bible!
