[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ received the revelation: "O Prophet, say to your wives, 'If you should desire the worldly life and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you.'" [Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 28] to the end of the two verses. The Prophet ﷺ gave them the choice and they chose Allah and His Messenger, and the Hereafter. Allah appreciated their choice and revealed to the Prophet ﷺ: "O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives]..." [Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 52]  

نَزَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ} [الأحزاب 28] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَتَيْنِ فَخَيَّرَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَشَكَرَ اللهُ لَهُنَّ ذَلِكَ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَلَا أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ} [الأحزاب 52]  

[Machine] When Allah gave them the choice, they chose Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter. So Allah made it known to them that they will be deprived of it [i.e., marriage and intimacy] through this verse: "It is not lawful for you [to marry] women after [this]..." [translation of Al-Ahzab 52]  

لَمَّا خَيَّرَهُنَّ اللهُ اخْتَرْنَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَقَصَرَهُ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ} [الأحزاب 52]  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pass away until it was lawful for him to marry women. Al-Shafi'i said that this means those who were forbidden for him in the saying of Allah: 'It is not lawful for you (to marry other) women after this, nor to change them for other wives' (Quran 33:52). And I think Aisha's statement implies that it became lawful for him to marry women by the saying of Allah: 'O Prophet, indeed we have made lawful to you your wives' (Quran 33:50) until His saying: 'Exclusively for you from the believers' (Quran 33:50)."  

مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أُحِلَّ لَهُ النِّسَاءُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ ؓ كَأَنَّهَا تَعْنِي اللَّاتِي حُظِرْنَ عَلَيْهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَلَا أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ} [الأحزاب 52] قَالَ وَأَحْسَبُ قَوْلَ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أُحِلَّ لَهُ النِّسَاءُ بِقَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَاجَكَ} [الأحزاب 50] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {خَالِصَةً لَكَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [الأحزاب 50]  

[Machine] In His statement, "It is not permissible for you to replace women, after [having had] wives, nor to exchange them for other wives" [Al-Ahzab 52], Ibn Jurayj said: Ata narrated to me from Ubayd ibn Umayr from Aisha, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pass away until it was permissible for him to marry. However, it was only permissible for him to marry those who had migrated with him. This is clear in the verse and the narration.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَلَا أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ} [الأحزاب 52] قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ مَا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أُحِلَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّاتِي هَاجَرْنَ مَعَهُ وَذَلِكَ بَيِّنٌ فِي الْآيَةِ وَالْخَبَرِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked me for marriage, so I apologized to him. He excused me and then Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted, revealed: "O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives" [Surah Al-Ahzab: 50] until His statement: "Those who emigrated with you" [Surah Al-Ahzab: 50]. I said, 'I did not migrate with him, so how can I be permissible for him?'  

خَطَبَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاعْتَذَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَعَذَرَنِي وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَاجَكَ} [الأحزاب 50] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {اللَّاتِي هَاجَرْنَ مَعَكَ} [الأحزاب 50] قَالَتْ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَحِلُّ لَهُ لَمْ أُهَاجِرْ مَعَهُ كُنْتُ مِنَ الطُّلَقَاءِ
