Pearl of Wisdom

'A woman came to the Prophet (SAWA) and said, ?O Messenger of Allah, men leave with your sayings, so allocate one day for us that we can have with you so you can teach us from what Allah has taught you.' So he said, 'Gather on such and such a day such and such a place.' So they gathered and the Prophet (SAWA) came to them and taught them what Allah had taught him?
