٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
We used not to call Zaid bin Haritha the freed slave of Messenger of Allah ﷺ except Zaid bin Muhammad till the Qu'anic Verse was revealed: "Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers. That is more than just in the Sight of Allah." (33.5) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4782)
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَا كُنَّا نَدْعُو زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ إِلَّا زَيْدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللهِ} [الأحزاب 5]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ} [الأحزاب: 5]
We used not to call Zaid bin Haritha the freed slave of Messenger of Allah ﷺ except Zaid bin Muhammad till the Qu'anic Verse was revealed: "Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers. That is more than just in the Sight of Allah." (33.5) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4782)
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا كُنَّا نَدْعُوهُ إِلَّا زَيْدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ} [الأحزاب 5]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِذْ جَاءُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ}
As regards the following Qur'anic Verse:-- "When they came on you from above and from below you (from east and west of the valley) and when the eyes grew wild and the hearts reached up to the throats....." (33.10) That happened on the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench). (Using translation from Bukhārī 4103)
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ {إِذْ جَاءُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ الْأَبْصَارُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ} قَالَتْ «ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخَنْدَقِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَثْرِبَ} [الأحزاب: 13]
I have been commanded (to migrate) to a town (Medina) which would overpower other towns. They (the people) call it Yathrib; its correct name is (in fact) Medina. It eliminates (bad) people just as a furnace removes the alloy of iron. (Using translation from Muslim 1382a)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ بِقَرْيَةٍ تَأْكُلُ الْقُرَى يَقُولُونَ يَثْرِبُ وَهِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ تَنْفِي النَّاسَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَثْرِبَ} [الأحزاب: 13]
Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, "None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Alone (Who) honored His Warriors and made His Slave victorious, and He (Alone) defeated the (infidel) clans; so there is nothing after Him. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4114)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ أَعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَغَلَبَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ فَلَا شَيْءَ بَعْدَهُ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ} [الأحزاب: 23]
'Among the Believers are men who have been true in their covenant with Allah.' (33.23) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4988)
فَقَدْتُ آيَةً مِنْ سُورَةِ الْأَحْزَابِ حِينَ نَسَخْنَا الْمُصْحَفَ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَؤُهَا فَوَجَدْتُهَا مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ {مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ} [الأحزاب 23] فَأَلْحَقْتُهَا فِي سُورَتِهَا فِي الْمُصْحَفِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ} [الأحزاب: 23]
My uncle and I have been named after him was not present with the Messenger of Allah (mav peace be upon him) on the Day of Badr. He felt distressed about it. He would say: I have missed the first battle fought by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and if God now gives me an opportunity to see a battlefield with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, God will see what I do therein. He was afraid to say more than this (lest he be unable to keep his word with God). He was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Uhud. He met Sa'd b. Mu'adh (who was retreating). Anas said to him: O Abu 'Amr, where (are you going)? Woe (to thee)! I find the smell of Paradise beside the Uhud mountain. (Reprimanding Sa'd in these words) he went forward and fought thein (the enemy) until he was killed. (The narrator says). More than eighty wounds inflicted with swords, spears and arrows were found on his body. His sister, my aunt, ar-Rubayyi', daughter of Nadr, said: I could not recognise my brother's body (it was so badly mutilated) except from his finger-tips. (It was on this occasion that) the Qur'anic verse:" Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with God. Of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some still wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least" (xxxiii. 23). The narrator said that the verse had been revealed about him (Anas b. Nadr) and his Companions. (Using translation from Muslim 1903)
غَابَ عَمِّي أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الَّذِي سُمِّيتُ بِهِ وَلَمْ يَشْهَدْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَدْرًا فَقَالَ أَوَّلُ مَشْهَدٍ شَهِدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غِبْتُ عَنْهُ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَئِنْ أَشْهَدَنِي اللهُ مَشْهَدًا بَعْدَهُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيَرَيَنَّ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَهَابَ أَنْ يَقُولَ غَيْرَهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ شَهِدَ أُحُدًا قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ مَهْيَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو إِنِّي أَجِدُ رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ دُونَ أُحُدٍ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَوُجِدَ بِهِ بِضْعَةٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ رَمْيَةٍ وَطَعْنَةٍ وَضَرْبَةٍ قَالَتْ أُخْتُهُ فَمَا عَرَفْتُ أَخِي إِلَّا بِبَنَانِهِ وَكَانَ حَسَنَ الْبَنَانِ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ} [الأحزاب 23] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {تَبْدِيلًا} [الأحزاب 23] فَكُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ} [الأحزاب: 23]
[Machine] On the day of Uhud, when the Muslims were exposed, Allah said, "O Allah, I apologize to You for what they have done." By "they," he meant his companions, and by "they," he meant the polytheists. Sa'd fought him alone outside of Uhud. Sa'd said, "I couldn't do what he did." It was found that he had eighty wounds, including stab wounds with a spear, sword strikes, and arrow shots. We used to say about him and his companions, "Some of them fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting, and they never changed." [Al-Ahzab 23]
عَنْ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ وَانْكَشَفَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَهُ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَقِيَهُ سَعْدٌ دُونَ أُحُدٍ قَالَ سَعْدٌ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ فِعْلَهُ قَالَ فَوُجِدَ فِيهِ ثَمَانُونَ طَعْنَةً مِنْ بَيْنِ طَعْنَةٍ بِرُمْحٍ وَضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَرَمْيَةٍ بِسَهْمٍ قَالَ فَكُنَّا نَقُولُ فِيهِ وَفِي أَصْحَابِهِ {فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا} [الأحزاب 23]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ} [الأحزاب: 35]
[Machine] She said to the Prophet ﷺ , "O Prophet of Allah, why do men's names get mentioned in the Quran and women's names do not?" So Allah revealed, "Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women..." [Al-Ahzab 35]
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ «يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا لِي أَسْمَعُ الرِّجَالَ يُذْكَرُونَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَالنِّسَاءُ لَا يُذْكَرْنَ؟» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ} [الأحزاب 35]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ} [الأحزاب: 35]
[Machine] I heard Umm Salamah, the Prophet's wife, saying, "I said to the Prophet, 'Why is it that we are not mentioned in the Quran as men are mentioned?' She said, 'One day, I did not hear his call at noon except that he was calling from the pulpit. She said, 'I was undoing my hair, so I gathered my hair and went to the room of my house and placed my ear against the door. Then, I heard him saying from the pulpit, 'O people, indeed Allah says in His Book: 'Indeed, the Muslim men and the Muslim women, the believing men and the believing women. [Al-Ahzab 35]' till the end of the verse 'Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward.' [Al-Ahzab 35].'
سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ «مَا لَنَا لَا نُذْكَرُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا يُذْكَرُ الرِّجَالُ؟» قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَرُعْنِي ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ظُهْرًا إِلَّا نِدَاؤُهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا أُسَرِّحُ رَأْسِي فَلَفَفْتُ شَعْرِي ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى حُجْرَةِ بَيْتِي فَجَعَلْتُ سَمْعِي عِنْدَ الْجَرِيدِ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ {إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ} [الأحزاب 35] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ {أَعَدَّ اللهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [الأحزاب 35]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ} [الأحزاب: 35]
The Prophet ﷺ said: When a man himself wakes at night and wakens his wife and they pray two rak'ahs together, they are recorded among the men and women who make much mention of Allah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1451)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَيْقَظَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَصَلَّيَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا كُتِبَا لَيْلَتَهُمَا مِنَ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللهُ مُبْدِيهِ} [الأحزاب: 37]
[Machine] Zaid came to complain about his wife to the Prophet ﷺ , so the Prophet commanded him to keep her and then Allah revealed {And you conceal within yourself what Allah is to disclose} [Quran 33:37].
جَاءَ زَيْدٌ يَشْكُو امْرَأَتَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُمْسِكَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللهُ مُبْدِيهِ} [الأحزاب 37]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللهُ مُبْدِيهِ} [الأحزاب: 37]
[Machine] "And I was reclining, then I sat up and said, 'O Mother of the Believers, look at me and do not rush me. Do you see the saying of Allah, 'And he [Muhammad] is not at all a withholder of knowledge of the unseen' (Quran 81:24) and 'And he [Muhammad] certainly saw him [Gabriel] in another descent' (Quran 53:13)?' She said, 'Indeed, it was only Gabriel, upon him be peace, who saw him one time in his creation and form he was created upon, and he saw him another time when he descended from the sky to the earth, encompassing the size of his creation between the heavens and the earth.' She said, 'I am the first person who asked the Prophet ﷺ about this verse and he said: "It is Gabriel." And whoever claims to know what will happen tomorrow has certainly claimed a supreme knowledge that is greatest upon Allah, and Allah says, "Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected." (Quran 27:65).' And whoever claims that Muhammad concealed something of what Allah revealed to him has certainly claimed a supreme knowledge that is greatest upon Allah, and Allah says, 'O Messenger, transmit what has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.' (Quran 5:67).' She said, 'If Muhammad ﷺ had concealed something of what was revealed to him, he would have concealed this verse: 'And [remember] when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him.' (Quran 33:37).'" [Sahih Muslim, Hadith 11345]
وَكُنْتُ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْظِرِينِي وَلَا تَعْجَلِينِي أَرَأَيْتِ قَوْلَ اللهِ ﷻ {وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ} [التكوير 24] {وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى} [النجم 13] قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ رَآهُ مَرَّةً عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَصُورَتِهِ الَّتِي خُلِقَ عَلَيْهَا وَرَآهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى حِينَ هَبَطَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ سَادًّا عِظَمُ خَلْقِهِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ قَالَتْ أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَأَلَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَقَالَ «هُوَ جِبْرِيلُ» وَمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي غَدٍ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ عَلَى اللهِ الْفِرْيَةَ وَاللهُ يَقُولُ {قُلْ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يَبْعَثُونَ} وَمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا كَتَمَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ عَلَى اللهِ الْفِرْيَةَ وَاللهُ يَقُولُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ وَاللهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ} [المائدة 67] قَالَتْ لَوْ كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ كَاتِمًا شَيْئًا مِمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ لَكَتَمَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشَاهُ} [الأحزاب 37] [221] 11345 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَعَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَرًا} [الأحزاب: 37]
"When the 'Iddah of Zainab was over, the Messenger of Allah said to Zaid: 'Propose marriage to her on my behalf.' Zaid went and said: 'O Zainab, rejoice, for the Messenger of Allah has sent me to you to propose marriage on his behalf.' She said: 'I will not do anything until I consult my Lord.' She went to her prayer place and Qur'an was revealed, then the Messenger of Allah came and entered upon her without any formalities." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3251)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِزَيْدٍ «اذْكُرْهَا عَلَيَّ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا زَيْنَبُ أَبْشِرِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُكِ فَقَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِصَانِعَةٍ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أُؤَامِرَ رَبِّي فَقَامَتْ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهَا وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَرًا} [الأحزاب: 37]
[Machine] I heard Anas say that Zainab used to boast over the wives of the Prophet ﷺ , saying, "Allah married me to him from the Heavens," and this verse was revealed regarding her hijab. The Prophet ﷺ went out of the house while they were seated, then returned and found them still seated until this matter was visible in his face. So Allah revealed the verse, "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness" [Al-Ahzab 53].
سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ كَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَنْكَحَنِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ» وَفِيهَا نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَهُمْ قَعُودٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ} [الأحزاب 53]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَامْرَأَةً مُؤْمِنَةً إِنْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ} [الأحزاب: 50]
It was narrated that Sahl bin Sa'd said: "I was among the people when a woman said: 'I offer myself (in marriage) to you, O Messenger of Allah, see what you think of me.' A man stood up and said: 'Marry me to her.' He said: 'Go and find (something), even if it is an iron ring.' So he went, but he could not find anything, not even an iron ring. So the Messenger of Allah said: 'Do you have (memorized) any surahs of the Qur'an?' He said: 'Yes.' So he married him to her on the basis of what he knew of surahs of the Qur'an." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3200)
قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ لَكَ نَفْسِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَّ فِيَّ رَأْيَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ زَوِّجْنِيهَا قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» فَذَهَبَ وَلَمْ يَجِئْ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَا بِخَاتَمٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَعَكَ مِنْ سُوَرِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَزَوَّجَهُ بِمَا مَعَهُ مِنْ سُوَرِ الْقُرْآنِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَامْرَأَةً مُؤْمِنَةً إِنْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ} [الأحزاب: 50]
[Machine] "A woman went to see the Prophet ﷺ and offered herself (as a wife), but the Prophet replied, 'I have no need for women.' The daughter of Anas said, 'I have never seen a woman with a more determined face.' Anas said, 'She was better than you. She desired the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and offered herself to him.'"
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهَا فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ لِي فِي النِّسَاءِ حَاجَةٌ» فَقَالَتِ ابْنَةٌ لِأَنَسٍ مَا كَانَ أَصْلَبَ وَجْهَهَا قَالَ أَنَسٌ كَانَتْ خَيْرًا مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَرَضَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَيْهِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ} [الأحزاب: 51]
I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).' (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4788)
كُنْتُ أَغَارُ عَلَى اللَّاتِي وَهَبْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَقُولُ أَوَتَهَبُ الْمَرْأَةُ نَفْسَهَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ} [الأحزاب 51] قُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَى رَبَّكَ إِلَّا يُسَارِعُ لَكَ فِي هَوَاكَ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ} [الأحزاب: 52]
It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah did not die until Allah permitted him to marry whatever women he wanted." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3205)
«مَا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا شَاءَ»

٥٤۔٣٣۔١٣ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ} [الأحزاب: 53]
When Allah's Apostle ﷺ contracted marriage with Zainab (Allah be pleased with bet), Umm Sulaim sent him hats in a vessel of stone as a gift. Anas stated that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Go and invite on my behalf all the Muslims whom you meet. So I invited on his behalf everyone whom I met. They entered (his house) and they ate and went out. And Messenger of Allah ﷺ had kept his hand on the food, and he invoked blessing on that, and said whatever Allah wished him to say, and none whom I met was left uninvited. They ate to their fill and went out, but a group among them remained there and was engaged in lengthy discussion. Allah's Apostle ﷺ felt shy of saying them anything. So he went out and left them in his house and Allah the Great and Majestic revealed this verse:" 0 you who believe, enter not the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal, not waiting for its cooking being finished." Qatada (instead of using the word Ghaira Nazirina) used the word Ghaira Mutahayyinina (i. e. not waiting for the time of the food). But when you are invited, enter..." up to this verse. This is purer for your hearts and their hearts. (Using translation from Muslim 1428h)
لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ أَهْدَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ حَيْسًا فِي تَوْرٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ قَالَ أَنَسٌ قَالَ لِي «اذْهَبْ فَادْعُ مَنْ لَقِيتَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ» فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ مَنْ لَقِيتُ فَجَعَلُوا يَدْخُلُونَ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَخْرُجُونَ وَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَدَعَا فِيهِ وَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَلَمْ أَدَعْ أَحَدًا لَقِيتُهُ إِلَّا دَعَوْتُهُ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَخَرَجُوا وَبَقِيَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ فَأَطَالُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدِيثَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا فَخَرَجَ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ} [الأحزاب 53]
[Machine] I heard Anas ibn Malik say about this verse, "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when permission is given to you." (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:53) Anas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ had built a house for some of his wives, and they made food and sent for some men to eat. After they had eaten, the Prophet ﷺ got up and left and went to the house of Aisha, and I followed him. He entered and found two men in her house. When he saw them, he turned back and did not speak to them. They stood up and left, and then the verse of the Hijab (veil) was revealed, "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when permission is given to you." (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:53)
سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ} [الأحزاب 53] قَالَ بَنَى نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ بِبَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَصَنَعُوا طَعَامًا فَأَرْسَلُوا فَدَعَوت رِجَالًا فَأَكَلُوا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَرَجَ فَأَتَى بَيْتَ عَائِشَةَ وَتَبِعْتُهُ فَدَخَلَ فَوَجَدَ فِي بَيْتِهَا رَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمَا رَجَعَ وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُمَا فَقَامَا فَخَرَجَا وَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ} [الأحزاب 53]
I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Good and bad persons enter upon you, so I suggest that you order the mothers of the Believers (i.e. your wives) to observe veils." Then Allah revealed the Verses of Al- Hijab. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4790)
قَالَ عُمَرُ قُلْتُ «يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكَ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ فَلَوْ حَجَبْتَ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ آيَةَ الْحِجَابِ»
[Machine] I used to eat with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a type of food called "hayz" in a bowl. Then Umar passed by and the Prophet ﷺ invited him to eat. When Umar ate, his finger touched my finger and he said: "Tell me if I obeyed you, would you be able to protect me from what your eyes see?" Then the veil was revealed.
كُنْتُ آكُلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَيْسًا فِي قَعْبٍ فَمَرَّ عُمَرُ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَكَلَ فَأَصَابَتْ إِصْبُعُهُ إِصْبُعِي فَقَالَ حَسِّ لَوْ أُطَاعُ فِيَكُنَّ مَا رَأَتْكُنَّ عَيْنٌ فَنَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ
When Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited the people to a meal. They took the meal and remained sitting and talking. Then the Prophet (showed them) as if he is ready to get up, yet they did not get up. When he noticed that (there was no response to his movement), he got up, and the others too, got up except three persons who kept on sitting. The Prophet ﷺ came back in order to enter his house, but he went away again. Then they left, whereupon I set out and went to the Prophet ﷺ to tell him that they had departed, so he came and entered his house. I wanted to enter along with him, but he put a screen between me and him. Then Allah revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet...' (33.53) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4791)
لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ دَعَا الْقَوْمَ فَطَعِمُوا ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَهَيَّأُ لِلْقِيَامِ فَلَمْ يَقُومُوا فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَامَ مَنْ قَامَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَقَعَدَ ثَلَاثَةٌ قَالَ وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَ لَيَدْخُلَ فَإِذَا الْقَوْمُ جُلُوسٌ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ قَامُوا فَانْطَلَقُوا فَجِئْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ انْطَلَقُوا فَجَاءَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْخُلُ فَأَلْقَى الْحِجَابَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ} [الأحزاب 53] إِلَى {إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَظِيمًا} [الأحزاب 53]

قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} [الأحزاب: 53]
نَزَلَتْ فِي زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} [الأحزاب: 53]
The similitude of mine and that of the Apostles before me is that of a person who built a house quite imposing and beautiful, but for one brick in one of its corners. People would go round it, appreciating the building, but saying: Why has the brick not been fixed here? He said: I am that brick and I am the last of the Apostles. (Using translation from Muslim 2286c)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ بَنَى بُنْيَانًا فَأَحْسَنَهُ وَأَجْمَلَهُ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ لَبِنَةٍ مِنْ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَاهُ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ وَيَعْجَبُونَ لَهُ وَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ هَلَّا وَضَعْتَ هَذِهِ اللَّبِنَةَ فَأَنَا مَوْضِعُ اللَّبِنَةِ وَأَنَا خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ} [الأحزاب: 56]
We were sitting in the company of Sa'id b. 'Ubida when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us. Bashir b. S'ad said: Allah has commanded us to bless you. Messenger of Allah! But how should we bless you? He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept quiet (and we were so much perturbed over his silence) that we wished we had not asked him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: (For blessing me) say:" 0 Allah, bless Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst bless the mernbers of Ibrahim's household. Grant favours to Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst grant favours to the members of the household of Ibrahim in the world. Thou art indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious" ; and salutation as you know. (Using translation from Muslim 405)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَجْلِسِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَمَرَنَا اللهُ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ؟ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَالسَّلَامُ كَمَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى} [الأحزاب: 69]
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "Musa was a shy and modest person, and nothing could be seen from his skin. But one day, some children of Israel accidentally saw Musa and said, 'What is this covering hiding? It must be due to something on his skin, either leprosy, a boil, or a disease.' So, Musa entered to wash himself and put his clothes on a rock. When he left, his clothes remained on the rock and he felt severe pain in his body. The children of Israel saw him and found him to be the best of people in appearance and free from the things they were saying. This is mentioned in the verse: 'O you who believe! Do not be like those who harmed Musa.' (33:69)" Isaq bin Ibrahim informed us, saying: Al-Nadr informed us from Awf, through this chain of narration, with a similar narration.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ مُوسَى حَيِيًّا سِتِّيرًا لَا يُرِي مِنْ جِلْدِهِ شَيْئًا اسْتِحْيَاءً فَآذَاهُ بَعْضُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَالُوا مَا يَسْتَتِرُ هَذَا السِّتْرَ إِلَّا مِنْ شَيْءٍ بِجِلْدِهِ إِمَّا بَرَصٌ وَإِمَّا أُدْرَةٌ أَوْ آفَةٌ فَدَخَلَ لِيَغْتَسِلَ وَوَضَعَ ثِيَابَهُ عَلَى الْحَجَرِ فَعَدَا الْحَجَرُ بِثِيَابِهِ فَخَرَجَ يَشْتَدُّ فِي أَثَرِهِ فَرَآهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خَلْقًا وَأَبْرَأَهُ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَى} [الأحزاب 69] 11361 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ عَنْ عَوْفٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ
