23.2 [Machine] Explanation of Surah Al-Baqarah
٢٣۔٢ تَفْسِيرُ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[Machine] "Al-Mawaddah" translates to "love" or "affection" in English.
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الْأَسْبَابُ} [البقرة 166] قَالَ «الْمَوَدَّةُ»
[Machine] "He asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about faith and he recited this verse: 'Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day...' [Quran 2:177]. When he finished reciting the verse, he asked him again and he recited it. Then he asked him again and he recited it. Then he asked him again and he said, 'When you do a good deed, love it with your heart, and when you commit a sin, hate it with your heart.'"
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ فَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {لَيْسَ الْبِرُّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخَرِ} [البقرة 177] حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْآيَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ أَيْضًا فَتَلَاهَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ أَيْضًا فَتَلَاهَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ «وَإِذَا عَمِلْتَ حَسَنَةً أَحَبَّهَا قَلْبُكَ وَإِذَا عَمِلْتَ سَيِّئَةً أَبْغَضَهَا قَلْبُكَ»
[Machine] "A healthy and stingy man hopes for a good living and fears poverty."
«يُعْطِي الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ يَأْمَلُ الْعَيْشَ وَيَخَافُ الْفَقْرَ»
[Machine] Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Poverty and hardship are afflictions, illness is a trial, and in times of adversity, one should say, 'at the time of murder.'"
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْبَأْسَاءُ الْفَقْرُ وَالضَّرَّاءُ السَّقَمُ وَحِينَ الْبَأْسِ قَالَ حِينَ الْقَتْلِ
[Machine] He is the main pillar in the satisfaction of his family.
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ} [البقرة 178] قَالَ «هُوَ الْعَمْدُ بِرِضَاءِ أَهْلِهِ»
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَأَدَاءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ} [البقرة 178] قَالَ «يُؤَدِّي الْمَطْلُوبَ بِإِحْسَانٍ»
[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ enacted the law of retribution (qisas) according to the conditions of the two sheikhs (referring to Abu Bakr and Umar), and did not implement it according to the conditions of Bukhari and Muslim."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِالْقِصَاصِ» عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُعلى شرط البخاري ومسلم
[Machine] He stood up and delivered a speech to the people here in Basra. He recited Surah Al-Baqarah to them and explained its meaning. He then came upon this verse, "If you leave behind a good will for your parents..." [Al-Baqarah 180], and said, "This verse was abrogated, and what comes after it was mentioned."
أَنَّهُ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ هَا هُنَا يَعْنِي بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَبَيَّنَ مَا فِيهَا فَأَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ} [البقرة 180] قَالَ «نُسِخَتْ هَذِهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ
[Machine] Ali visited a man from the Banu Hashim tribe who was sick and wanted to give him some advice. However, the man refused and Ali told him that Allah says, "If you leave a good deed, it is better for you" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 180). So, he advised him to leave his wealth for his inheritors.
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا دَخَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ يَعُودُهُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُوصِيَ فَنَهَاهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا} [البقرة 180] مَالًا فَدَعْ مَالَكَ لِوَرَثَتِكَ
[Machine] As for the conditions of fasting, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah and started fasting three days in every month, as well as observing the fast on the day of Ashura. Later, Allah made fasting obligatory and revealed the verse: "O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you" [Qur'an 2:183] until the verse "And upon those who are able [to fast], a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]" [Qur'an 2:184]. Thus, whoever wished, fasted, and whoever wished, fed a poor person, and this was permissible. Then, Allah revealed another verse: "The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an" [Qur'an 2:185] until the verse "So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it" [Qur'an 2:185]. Allah made fasting obligatory for the resident who is capable and eased it for the sick and the traveler. He also made feeding required for the elderly who are unable to fast. These were the two options available, and they used to eat and drink during the night and have sexual relations until they slept. However, if they slept, they abstained from all that until dawn. Then, there was a man from the Ansar known as Sirmah who used to work while fasting until the evening, then he went to his family, performed the Isha prayer, and slept without eating or drinking until morning, thus remaining in the state of fasting. I (the narrator) also joined him once, so we slept and woke up while fasting. As for Umar, he had a sexual relationship with a slave girl or a free woman after sleeping, and he mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ . Allah then revealed the verse: "It has been made lawful for you to approach your wives during the nights of the fast. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them" [Qur'an 2:187] until the verse "Then complete the fast until the night" [Qur'an 2:187].
أَمَّا أَحْوَالُ الصِّيَامِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَصُومُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَصِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الصِّيَامَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ} [البقرة 183] إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة 184] فَكَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَطْعَمَ مِسْكِينًا فَأَجْزَأَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْزَلَ الْآيَةَ الْأُخْرَى {شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ} [البقرة 185] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ} [البقرة 185] فَأَثْبَتَ اللَّهُ صِيَامَهُ عَلَى الْمُقِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ وَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ لِلْمَرِيضِ وَلِلْمُسَافِرِ وَثَبَتَ الْإِطْعَامُ لِلْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الصِّيَامَ فَهَذَانِ حَوْلَانِ وَكَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ النِّسَاءَ مَا لَمْ يَنَامُوا فَإِذَا نَامُوا امْتَنَعُوا ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ صِرْمَةُ كَانَ يَعْمَلُ صَائِمًا حَتَّى أَمْسَى فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ نَامَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ فَأَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا فَأَلْقَيْتُ نَفْسِي فَنِمْتُ وَأَصْبَحَتْ صَائِمًا وَكَانَ عُمَرُ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مِنْ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ حُرَّةٍ بَعْدَمَا نَامَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ} [البقرة 187] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ} [البقرة 187]
«اعْبُدُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ»
[Machine] "They are a dwelling for you and you are a dwelling for them."
«هُنَّ سَكَنٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ سَكَنٌ لَهُنَّ»
"We were in a Roman city, when a large column of Romans came out to us. So about the same number or more of the Muslims went towards them. The commander of the people of Egypt was 'Uqbah bin 'Amir, and the commenter of the (our) group was Fadalah bin 'Ubaid. One man among the Muslims reached the Roman line until he entered amidst them, so the people started screaming: 'Subhan Allah! He has thrown himself into destruction!' Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari said: 'O you people! You give this interpretation for this Ayah, while this Ayah was only revealed about us, the people among the Ansar, when Allah made Islam might, and increased its supporters. Some of us secretly said to each other, outside of the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Our wealth has been ruined, and Allah has strengthened Islam, and increased its supporters, so if we tend to our wealth then what we lost of it shall be revitalized for us." So Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed to His Prophet ﷺ, rebuking what we said: 'And spend in the cause of Allah, and do not throw yourselves into destruction. (2:195)' So the destruction was tending to the wealth and maintaining it.' Abu Ayyub did not cease traveling in Allah's cause, until he was buried in the land of the Romans." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2972)
أَخْبَرَنِي أَسْلَمُ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ مَوْلَى بَنِي تُجِيبَ قَالَ كُنَّا بِالْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ مِصْرَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّامِ فَضَالَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَخَرَجَ صَفٌّ عَظِيمٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ فَصَفَفْنَا لَهُمْ صَفًّا عَظِيمًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى صَفِّ الرُّومِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا مُقْبِلًا فَصَاحَ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالُوا أَلْقَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ تَتَأَوَّلُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَى هَذَا التَّأْوِيلِ وَإِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِينَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّا لَمَّا أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ دِينَهُ وَكَثُرَ نَاصِرِيهِ قَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ سِرًّا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَمْوَالَنَا قَدْ ضَاعَتْ فَلَوْ أَقَمْنَا فِيهَا فَأَصْلَحْنَا مِنْهَا فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا مَا هَمَمْنَا بِهِ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَأَنْفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ} [البقرة 195] فَكَانَتِ التَّهْلُكَةُ فِي الْإِقَامَةِ عَلَى أَمْوَالِنَا الَّتِي أَرَدْنَا فَأُمِرْنَا بِالْغَزْوِ «فَمَا زَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ»
[Machine] There is a man, O Abu 'Umara, "and do not throw yourselves into destruction with your own hands" [Al-Baqarah 195]. Is he the man who encounters the enemy and fights until he is killed? He said, "No, but he is the man who commits a sin and says, 'Allah will not forgive me.'"
لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ {وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ} [البقرة 195] أَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ فَيُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يُذْنِبُ الذَّنْبَ فَيَقُولُ لَا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِي
[Machine] From the saying of Allah Almighty "And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah" [Al-Baqarah 196], He said, "That you may be prohibited from returning to your family's abode."
عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ} [البقرة 196] قَالَ «أَنْ تُحْرَمَ مِنْ دُوَيْرَةِ أَهْلِكَ»
[Machine] He used to recite it as "So whoever does not find [the means for] fasting, then the fasting of three consecutive days [is required]."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا «فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مُتَتَابِعَاتٍ»
[Machine] "Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'dah, and ten days of Dhul-Hijjah."
«شَوَّالٌ وَذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةَ»
[Machine] "I was walking with Ibn Abbas, who was performing the Hajj and he was riding on a camel, and he was saying, 'And they (the women) walk with us side to side.' I said, 'Do you joke while you are performing the Hajj?' He said, 'Playfulness is only what is allowed for women.'"
كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَهُوَ يَرْتَجِزُ بِالْإِبِلِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «وَهُنَّ يَمْشِينَ بِنَا هَمِيسًا» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَتَرْفُثُ وَأَنْتَ مُحْرِمٌ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا الرَّفَثُ مَا رُوجِعَ بِهِ النِّسَاءُ»
[Machine] Adultery and immorality are sins committed against Allah, such as forbidden sexual acts and other transgressions. Quarreling, insulting, and disputes are also frowned upon.
الرَّفَثُ الْجِمَاعُ وَالْفُسُوقُ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنْ مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ مِنْ صَيْدٍ وَغَيْرِهِ وَالْجِدَالُ السِّبَابُ وَالْمُنَازَعَةُ
[Machine] They were in the early pilgrimage trading in Mina, such as Suq Al-Majaz and the seasons of the Hajj. When the Quran was revealed, they feared trading. So Allah, the Almighty, revealed: "There is no sin on you if you seek the bounty of your Lord." [Al-Baqarah 198] in the seasons of the Hajj.
كَانُوا فِي أَوَّلِ الْحَجِّ يَتَبَايَعُونَ بِمِنًى كَسُوقِ الْمَجَازِ وَمَوَاسِمِ الْحَجِّ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ خَافُوا الْبَيْعَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ} [البقرة 198] فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْحَجِّ
[Machine] "The Sacred Place of Worship" [Quran 2:198], "All of Muzdalifah"
{الْمَشْعَرُ الْحَرَامُ} [البقرة 198] «الْمُزْدَلِفَةُ كُلُّهَا»
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us at Arafat. He praised and glorified Allah, then he said: 'As for what follows, indeed, the people of polytheism and idolatry used to push away from this place at sunset when the sun is over the mountain tops like men's head coverings on their heads. Our guidance is different from their guidance. They also used to push away from Al-Mash'ar Al-Haram at sunrise when the sun is over the mountain tops like men's head coverings on their heads. Our guidance is different from their guidance.'"
خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَفَةَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ أَهْلَ الشِّرْكِ وَالْأَوْثَانِ كَانُوا يَدْفَعُونَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ حِينَ تَكُونُ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ مِثْلَ عَمَائِمِ الرِّجَالِ عَلَى رُءُوسِهَا فَهَدْيُنَا مُخَالِفٌ لِهَدْيِهِمْ وَكَانُوا يَدْفَعُونَ مِنَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ مِثْلَ عَمَائِمِ الرِّجَالِ عَلَى رُءُوسِهَا فَهَدْيُنَا مُخَالِفٌ لِهَدْيِهِمْ»
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say between the two corners: O Allah, bring us a blessing in this world and a blessing in the next and guard us from punishment of Hell. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1892)
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ وَالْحَجَرِ {رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ} [البقرة 201]
[Machine] "I have hired myself out from my people in return for them carrying me, and I have set aside from my wages for them in return for allowing me to perform Hajj with them. Will that be sufficient for them?" He said, "You are of those whom Allah, the Almighty, has said: 'For them is a share of what they have earned, and Allah is swift in account'" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 202).
إِنِّي أَجَرْتُ نَفْسِي مِنْ قَوْمِي عَلَى أَنْ يَحْمِلُونِي وَوَضَعْتُ لَهُمْ مِنْ أُجْرَتِي عَلَى أَنْ يَدَعُونِيَ أَحُجَّ مَعَهُمْ أَفَيُجْزِي ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَنْتَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {أُولَئِكَ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ} [البقرة 202]
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Hajj is 'Arafat, the Hajj is 'Arafat, the Hajj is 'Arafat. The days of Mina are three: But whoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him, and whoever stays on, there is no sin on him (2:203). And whoever sees (attends) the 'Arafah before the rising of Fajr, then he has performed the Hajj." Ibn Abi 'Umar said: "Sufyan bin 'Uyainah said: 'This is the best Hadith that Ath-Thawri reported.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2975)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَجُّ عَرَفَةُ أَوْ عَرَفَاتٌ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ عَرَفَةَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْحَجَّ وَأَيَّامُ مِنًى ثَلَاثٌ {فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ فَلَا إِثْمَ} [البقرة 203] عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَأَخَّرَ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] The translation of "عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ" into English is "May Allah be pleased with Umar."
عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and said, "O people of Madinah, certainly Allah has presented to me regarding alcohol in a way that I do not know if it may result in a prohibition to me. Then he stood up and said, "O people of Madinah, certainly Allah has revealed the prohibition of alcohol, so whoever has any of it, he should not drink it or sell it." They poured it out in the streets of Madinah.
قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَرِّضُ عَلَيَّ فِي الْخَمْرِ تَعْرِيضًا لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ يُنَزِّلُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ أَمْرًا» ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ «يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ تَحْرِيمَ الْخَمْرِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَعِنْدَهُ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَلَا يَشْرَبْهَا وَلَا يَبِعْهَا» قَالَ فَسَكَبُوهَا فِي طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ
[Machine] "When the verse 'And do not approach the property of the orphan, except in the way that is best' [Quran 6:152] was revealed, they separated their wealth from the wealth of the orphans. As a result, the food went bad and the meat became rotten. They complained about this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so Allah, the Exalted, revealed, 'Say, 'For them is reform, and if you associate with them, they are your brothers'" [Quran 2:220]. He said, 'So they associated with them.'"
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ} [الأنعام 152] عَزَلُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ عَنْ أَمْوَالِ الْيَتَامَى فَجَعَلَ الطَّعَامُ يَفْسَدُ وَاللَّحْمُ يُنْتِنُ فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {قُلْ إِصْلَاحٌ لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ وَإِنْ تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ} [البقرة 220] قَالَ فَخَالَطُوهُمْ
[Machine] If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has something to say about it, then it is as he said. But if he did not say anything about it, then I say: "Your wives are a place of cultivation for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you please" [Al-Baqarah 223]. "If you want, separate, and if you want, do not separate."
فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَالَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا فَأَنَا أَقُولُ {نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ} [البقرة 223] «فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَاعْزِلُوا وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا»
[Machine] This neighborhood was made up of the migrants who would approach women in an inappropriate manner whenever they encountered them, whether they were walking towards them or walking away from them. When they arrived in the city, they married women from the inhabitants of Madinah (known as the Ansar). They wanted these women to agree to the same actions they used to do with the migrant women, but the Ansar women refused this. So they complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed the following verse: "Your women are a plowed field for you, so approach your plowed field as you wish" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:223]. This means that men can approach women from the front or the back, as long as it is done within the boundaries of Islam.

[Machine] The man used to divorce his wife whenever he pleased, and even if he divorced her a hundred times or more, if he took her back before her waiting period ended. Then the man said to his wife, "By Allah, I will not divorce you so reveal to me from yourself and do not come to me." She asked, "How can that be?" He said, "I will divorce you, and every time your waiting period is about to end, I will take you back and then divorce you again." The woman complained about this to Aisha, and Aisha mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He remained silent and did not say anything until the verse was revealed in the Quran, "Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment." [Quran 2:229]
كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ مَا شَاءَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا مِائَةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ إِذَا ارْتَجَعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا حَتَّى قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِامْرَأَتِهَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أُطَلِّقُكِ فَتَبِينِي مِنِّي وَلَا آوِيكِ إِلَيَّ قَالَتْ وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ أُطَلِّقُكِ وَكُلَّمَا هَمَّتْ عِدَّتُكِ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ ارْتَجَعْتُكِ ثُمَّ أُطَلِّقُكِ وَأَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فَشَكَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَكَتَ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ {الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ} [البقرة 229] « »
[Machine] To return her, but if he prevents her, a place of refuge has been set up for her. And Allah the Exalted says, "And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they agree among themselves on an acceptable basis." [Al-Baqarah 2:232]
أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا فَمَنَعَهَا مَعْقِلٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ} [البقرة 232]
[Machine] "If she carried him (the child) for nine months, she breastfed him for one year and twenty months. And if she carried him for six months, she breastfed him for four years and twenty months." Then, he recited, "And his carrying and weaning is thirty months" [Quran 46:15].
«إِذَا حَمَلَتْهُ تِسْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ أَرْضَعَتْهُ وَاحِدًا وَعِشْرِينَ شَهْرًا وَإِنْ حَمَلَتْهُ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ أَرْضَعَتْهُ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ شَهْرًا» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَحَمَلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا} [الأحقاف 15]
[Machine] This verse has been abrogated by its repetition in its people, so it counts wherever she wishes to the saying of Allah Almighty {except of evacuation} [Al-Baqarah 240]. Ata' said: If she wishes, she counts in her people, and if she wishes, she leaves, for the saying of Allah Almighty {So, if they leave, there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves}.

[Machine] "He stood up and delivered a speech to the people here. Then he recited Surah Al-Baqarah to them and explained some parts of it. He came across this verse: 'If anyone leaves behind property, it is for parents and close relatives' [Al-Baqarah 180]. He said, 'This verse has been abrogated.' Then he continued reciting until he reached this verse: 'And those of you who die and leave behind wives' [Al-Baqarah 234] to the part where Allah says 'without evicting them' [Al-Baqarah 240]. He said, 'And this verse.'"

[Machine] "When the verse 'Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers, especially the middle Salah (i.e., asr prayer)' (Al-Baqarah 2:238) was revealed, we recited it during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as he wanted us to recite it. Then Allah replaced it with the verse mentioned above. A man asked him, 'Was the Asr prayer abrogated?' He replied, 'I informed you how it was revealed and how Allah abrogated it, and Allah knows best.'"

[Machine] They were four thousand who escaped from the plague and said, "Let's go to a land where there is no death." Then Allah said to them, "Die!" and they died. Then a prophet passed by them and asked Allah to revive them, so He revived them. They are the ones whom Allah, the Almighty, said about, "And they are those who have passed away in Allah's cause." [Quran 2:243]

[Machine] "I approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque, and I sat beside him. He mentioned the virtues of prayer, fasting, and charity. I asked him, 'O Messenger of Allah, which verse that Allah revealed to you is the greatest?' He said, 'It is the verse: "Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence."' (Quran 2:255) And he continued to recite and explain the verse until he concluded."

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Bara'ah bin 'Azib, saying, 'O Bara'ah, how do you spend on your family?' He said, 'I am generous to my family.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how should I consider it?' He said, 'Indeed, your spending on your family, children, and servant is a charity, so do not seek reward or harm for it.'"

[Machine] He heard him saying, Umar asked the companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, "Do you know the meaning of the verse that says, 'Would any of you wish to have a garden with date-palms and vines...'" [Al-Baqarah 266]? They replied, "Allah knows best." Umar became angry and said, "Say, 'We know' or 'We do not know.'" Ibn Abbas said to himself, "I have some knowledge about it, O commander of the faithful." Umar said, "Say, 'O son of my brother, do not belittle yourself.'" Ibn Abbas gave an example of a certain action and Umar asked, "What kind of action?" Ibn Abbas replied, "A wealthy man who performs good deeds, then Allah sends devils to him, so he commits sins until his good deeds are completely destroyed."

«رِيحٌ فِيهَا سَمُومٌ شَدِيدٌ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ ordered the Zakat al-Fitr to be given in the form of a saa' of dates. A man came with inferior quality dates, so the Prophet ﷺ said to Abdullah ibn Rawaha, "Do not give these dates as zakat." Then the Quran was revealed: "O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes" (Al-Baqarah 267).
أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِزَكَاةِ الْفِطْرِ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِتَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ «لَا تَخْرُصْ هَذَا التَّمْرَ» فَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْفِقُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ} [البقرة 267]
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, your children are a gift from Allah. He bestows female children upon whom He wills, and He bestows male children upon whom He wills. They are a blessing and their wealth belongs to you when you are in need of it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَوْلَادَكُمْ هِبَةُ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ يَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ فَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ لَكُمْ إِذَا احْتَجْتُمْ إِلَيْهَا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for some charity to be given. A man from amongst the Sahal came and said, "Sufyan (meaning the one who sells salt or salt vendor)" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who brought this?" And no one used to bring anything except that it would be attributed to the one who brought it. So the verse was revealed: "And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it]. And do not touch the orphan's property except to improve it until he reaches maturity" [Quran 6:9]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also prohibited the use of two types of dates, the ones of a sort called "Ju'roor" and the type called "hubayq." Az-Zuhri said, "These two types of dates are from Madinah." Sulaiman ibn Kathir narrated this from Az-Zuhri.
أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَذَا السَّحْلِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي الشِّيصَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ جَاءَ بِهَذَا؟» وَكَانَ لَا يَجِيءُ أَحَدٌ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا نُسِبَ إِلَى الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ} [البقرة 267] وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَوْنَيْنِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَا فِي الصَّدَقَةِ الْجُعْرُورِ وَلَوْنِ الْحُبَيْقِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ «وَاللَّوْنَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرِ الْمَدِينَةِ» تَابَعَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the two varieties of dates known as Ju'roor and Hubayq. Some people used to collect these fruits and give them out in charity, but they were prohibited from doing so because of these two varieties of dates. Then the following verse was revealed: 'Do not give from the impure of it that which you would not take [yourself] without averting your eyes' (Quran 2:267)."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ لَوْنَيْنِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ الْجُعْرُورِ وَلَوْنِ الْحُبَيْقِ» قَالَ وَكَانَ نَاسٌ يَتَيَمَّمُونَ شَرَّ ثِمَارِهِمْ فَيُخْرِجُونَهَا فِي الصَّدَقَةِ فَنُهُوا عَنْ لَوْنَيْنِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ} [البقرة 267]
