What punishment was given? If it’s the same incident that I’m thinking of, the Prophet (SAW) was not overturned. Rather, at the time the ruling was that certain things said to give divorce could not be revoked. When the woman complained about to Nabi (SAW), he only said that he wouldn’t make any ruling on it contrary to what had been revealed to him (and when he didn’t overturn the ruling as the woman was asking, he was only not going against the existing ruling).
