(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

55.  It is no sin for them (thy wives) (to converse freely) with their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or the sons of their sisters or of their own women, or their slaves. O women! Keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Witness over all things.

Commentary

It was commanded to the men in the previous verse that they should not come before the wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). By this, close relatives feared also.

In this verse, it has been cleared and described that coming of women before close relatives is not forbidden. In this connection, it has been explained in Suratun-Nuur and here again the same matter has been manifested, that is to say, the women can come before following close relatives. And the same commandment is also for the wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) – father, sons, brothers, sons of brothers, sons of sisters or Muslim women who come at homes for working, or own possessed bond-maids and female-slaves. Non-Muslim men, women or male servants are not included in it. The Muslim women should not come before them as it has been explained in Suratun-Nuur (Chapter “Light” – 24).

After that, it is commanded: This is only apparent precautionary measures to stop false thoughts”. The actual thing is fear of Allaah Almighty for correction of the heart. Therefore, you should abide by these commandments having fear of Allaah Almighty, because nothing is hidden from Him.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُؤْذُوا۟ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَن تَنكِحُوٓا۟ أَزْوَٰجَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦٓ أَبَدًا إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمْ كَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَظِيمًا  53c  إِن تُبْدُوا۟ شَيْـًٔا أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمًا 54  

                                       

53c.  And it is not for you to cause annoyance to the Messenger of Allah, nor that ye should ever marry his wives after him. Lo! that in Allah’s Sight would be an enormity. 54.  Whether ye divulge a thing or keep it hidden, lo! Allah is ever Knower of all things.

Commentary

The Muslims are being instructed: After having belief in Muhammad that he is a Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), there is no such opportunity of it that he is harmed, grieved or troubled by committing or saying any matter or thing against him. It is the work of those who have denied his Messenger-hood and begun to become obstinate in spite of meditating in clear signs and proofs produced by him.

Behold! It is also unlawful for you to wed wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) after his departure. Your such act is a great villainy in the Sight of Allaah Almighty.

It was indicated earlier by mentioning that wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) were “’Ummahaatul-Mu’miniin” (the Mothers of the Believers), but because this matter was most important, so now marriage with them has been forbidden very clearly.

It is commanded for emphasizing this matter: Indeed, that would be an enormity in the Sight of Allaah Almighty. You should never think or talk to marry them (May Allaah be pleased with them), because as Allaah Almighty knows all apparent things and matters, like this He is Aware too of your thoughts which are hidden in your minds. Therefore, you should keep your thoughts also pure and clean.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِى ٱلنَّبِىَّ فَيَسْتَحْىِۦ مِنكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَسْتَحْىِۦ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَٰعًا فَسْـَٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَآءِ حِجَابٍ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ 53b 

                                       

53b.  Lo! that would cause annoyance to the Prophet, and he would be shy of (asking) you (to go); but Allah is not shy of the truth. And when ye ask of them (the wives of the Prophet) anything, ask it of them from behind a curtain. That is purer for your hearts and for their hearts.

53b.  ‘Inna  zaalikum  kaana  yu’-zin-Nabiyya  fayastah-yii  minkum;  Wallaahu  laa  yastah-yii  minal-haqq.  Wa  ‘izaa  sa-‘altumuuhunna  mataa-‘an  fas-‘aluuhunna  minw-waraaa-‘i  hijaab.  Zaalikum  ‘atharu  li-quluu-bikum  wa  quluubihinn.

Commentary

It is commanded: The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) had to suffer due to your such affairs, but he cannot say due to modesty and regard that “you should now get out because your act of sitting here wastes his time”. Sustaining inconvenience by him and saying nothing to the person due to whom he suffers; is entirely highest grade of his civility and humanity. But Allaah Almighty cannot be shy of teaching you politeness and manners for the reason that the advice will displease you. He does not need to be shy or be silent in saying the truth and regarding desire of pleasing someone. Otherwise, how would you correct your habits and become a mankind?

Behold! You should not come fearlessly before female family members of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) to ask for something, but you should ask them from behind the curtain. Satan will not be able to get any opportunity of deceiving due to this care. It will be purer for your hearts and his (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) will not be discomforted. These Commandments are for your guidance, so that you should not trouble the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

Commentary

‘Inaa – (moment, time for being prepared)

Way of meeting with one another has been caused to understand to the Muslims in this verse. Its origin should be on this matter that any other should not be harmed and nor any problem should be created for anyone else. It has been described in it that dwelling place of a mankind is like a place of retirement, in which he performs such works which should not be intervened by any other. If any such place does not remain for the mankind then he would have to face many troubles.

It is commanded: It is unlawful to enter any other’s house fearlessly without permission and any proper reason. You should not rush; particularly in the houses of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) as and when you desire, but you should enter then when you are permitted for a meal. Moreover, you should not reach there before time so that you may wait for the readiness of the meal. But when you are invited, then you should enter; and when you have eaten, then you should disperse without seeking to remain for conversation because you like to talk and do not like to get out. Usually the houses are small and it is not suitable for the guests to reach before time and begin talking after taking meal.

Commentary

                                                               

The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) passed nearly twenty five years of his initial life in solitude. After that, he married with Khadija, the great (May Allaah be pleased with her), who had been widow twice. After her death, he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) married Aisha the daughter of Abu Bakr Siddique (May Allaah be pleased with them). Then eight widow women (May Allaah be pleased with them) became Messenger’s wives. At the time of the departure of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), there were his nine wives – Aisha, Hafsa, Sawda, Ummi Salma, Zainab, Ummi Habiba, Jawairiya, Safia and Memona (May Allaah be pleased with them). They all gave up thinking about the prosperity of the world and liked the willingness of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). It was the reward for them in the world which has been described in the above mentioned verses.

It is commanded: You (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) are not allowed to take other women henceforth save those to whom We have made for you lawful, nor that you should change them for other wives, whether you feel them more beautiful and they please you.

Allaah Almighty knows that who abides by His Commandments and who does not care. Therefore, we should do every work bearing it in mind. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was given authority to keep his wives equal in all matters or as he desired. And his wives had admitted clearly to obey his every command and they were willing to accept his every decision. The aim from this all was that he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) should not loiter in religious works due to being involved in domestic disputes. Even then, the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) took care of his wives’ rights equally, did not reap advantage from the privileges granted to him by Allaah Almighty and complied with entire works of preaching of the Religion. There was none who might perform like him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
