قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ: {وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى} [النساء: 3]
" If you fear that you will not be able to maintain equity amongst the orphan girls, then marry (those) you like from amongst the women two, three or four." She said: O, the son of my sister, the orphan girl is one who is under the patronage of her guardian and she shares with him in his property and her property and beauty fascinate him and her guardian makes up his mind to marry her without giving her due share of the wedding money and is not prepared (to pay so much amount) which anyone else is prepared to pay and so Allah has forbidden to marry these girls but in case when equity is observed as regards the wedding money and they are prepared to pay them the full amount of the wedding money and Allah commanded to marry other women besides them according to the liking of their heart. 'Urwa reported that 'A'isha said that people began to seek verdict from Messenger of Allah ﷺ after the revelation of this verse about them (orphan girls) and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse:" They asked thee verdict about women; say: Allah gives verdict to you in regard to them and what is recited to you in the Book about orphan woman, whom you give not what is ordained for them while you like to marry them" (iv. 126). She said: The wording of Allah" what is recited to you" in the Book means the first verse, i. e." if you fear that you may not be able to observe equity in case of an orphan woman, marry what you like in case of woman" (iv. 3). 'A'isha said: (And as for this verse [iv. 126], i. e. and you intend" to marry one of them from amongst the orphan girls" it pertains to one who is in charge (of orphans) having small amount of wealth and less beauty and they have been forbidden that they should marry what they like of her wealth and beauty out of the orphan girls, but with equity, because of their disliking for them. (Using translation from Muslim 3018a)
عَنْ قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَى وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ} [النساء 3] قَالَتْ «يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي هِيَ الْيَتِيمَةُ تَكُونُ فِي حِجْرِ وَلِيِّهَا تَشْرَكُهُ فِي مَالِهَا فَيُعْجِبُهُ مَالُهَا وَجَمَالُهَا فَيُرِيدُ وَلِيُّهَا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا بِغَيْرِ أَنْ يُقْسِطَ فِي صَدَاقِهَا فَيُعْطِيهَا مِثْلَ مَا يُعْطِيهَا غَيْرُهُ فَنُهُوا أَنْ يَنْكِحُوهُنَّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقْسِطُوا لَهُنَّ وَيَبْلُغُوا بِهِنَّ أَعَلَى سُنَّتِهِنَّ فِي الصَّدَاقِ فَأُمِرُوا أَنْ يَنْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَهُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ سِوَاهُنَّ» [59] قَالَ عُرْوَةُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَفْتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ وَمَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ فِي يَتَامَى النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا تُؤْتُونَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ} [النساء 127] فَذَكَرَ اللهُ أَنَّهُ يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ اللهُ {وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ} [النساء 3] قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَقَوْلُ اللهِ ﷻ فِي الْآيَةِ الْأُخْرَى {وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ} [النساء 127] رَغْبَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ عَنْ يَتِيمَتِهِ حِينَ تَكُونُ قَلِيلَةَ الْمَالِ قَلِيلَةَ الْجَمَالِ قَالَتْ فَنُهُوا أَنْ يَنْكِحُوا مَنْ رَغِبُوا فِي مَالِهِ وَجَمَالِهِ مِنْ يَتَامَى النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا بِالْقِسْطِ مِنْ أَجْلِ رَغْبَتِهِمْ عَنْهُنَّ إِذَا كُنَّ قَلِيلَاتِ الْمَالِ وَالْجَمَالِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يُوصِيكُمُ اللهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ} [النساء: 11]
Allah's Apostle ﷺ and Abi Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) visited me on foot in Banu Salama, and found me unconscious. He (the Holy Prophet) called for water and performed ablution and sprinkled out of it (the water) over me. I felt relieved. I said: Messenger of Allah, what should I do with my property? And this verse was revealed:" Allah enjoins you concerning your children: for the male is equal of the portion of two females." (Using translation from Muslim 1616b)
عَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ يَمْشِيَانَ فَوَجَدَانِي لَا أَعْقِلُ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَشَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {يُوصِيكُمُ اللهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ} [النساء 11]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللهِ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ} [النساء: 13]
[Machine] The damage in the will is one of the major sins. Then it is followed by: "Those are the limits set by Allah. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein. That is the great success. But whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and oversteps His limits will be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein. And he will have a humiliating punishment." [Quran 4:14]
الْإِضْرَارُ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ ثُمَّ تَلَا {تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللهِ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَلَهُ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ} [النساء 14]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {أَوْ يَجْعَلُ اللهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلًا} [النساء: 15]
Receive my teachings, receive my teachings. Allah has appointed a way for those women. If the parties have been married, they shall receive a hundred lashes and stoned to death. If the parties are unmarried, they shall receive a hundred lashes and banished for a year. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4415)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «خُذُوا عَنِّي خُذُوا عَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلَ اللهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلًا الْبِكْرُ بِالْبِكْرِ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَنَفْيُ سَنَةٍ وَالثَّيِّبُ بِالثَّيِّبِ جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَرَجْمٌ بِالْحِجَارَةِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا} [النساء: 19]
regarding the Divine Verse: "O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness that you may take back part of the (Mahr) dower you have given them." (4.19) (Before this revelation) if a man died, his relatives used to have the right to inherit his wife, and one of them could marry her if he would, or they would give her in marriage if they wished, or, if they wished, they would not give her in marriage at all, and they would be more entitled to dispose her, than her own relatives. So the above Verse was revealed in this connection. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4579)
أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا وَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوا بِبَعْضِ مَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ} [النساء 19] قَالُوا كَانُوا إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ كَانَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ أَحَقَّ بِامْرَأَتِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ تَزَوَّجَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ زَوَّجُوهَا فَهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا} [النساء: 19]
[Machine] For him to marry his wife after divorcing her, and this was common practice for them during the time of ignorance. Then Allah revealed, "It is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion." [Quran 4:19]
أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَتَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا} [النساء 19]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ} [النساء: 24]
[Machine] That the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ captured captives from the polytheists, so some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ refrained from having relations with them out of respect for their wives. Therefore, the verse (And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess) [Quran 4:24] was revealed.
أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَصَابُوا سَبَايَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ فَكَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَفُّوا عَنْ غِشْيَانِهِنَّ مِنِ أَجْلِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ} [النساء 24]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ} [النساء: 24]
[Machine] They took captive women, who were already married, and slept with each other. It seemed as if they were repenting from that. So Allah revealed, "And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess" [Quran 4:24]. Yahya ibn Hakim informed us, Muhammad ibn Ja'far informed us, Israel informed us from Abu Hasin, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas with a similar narration.
أَصَابُوا سَبْيًا لَهُنَّ أَزْوَاجٌ فَوَطِئُوا بَعْضَهُنَّ فَكَأَنَّهُمْ أَشْفَقُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ} [النساء 24] [62] 11032 أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مِثْلَهُ

٥٤۔٤۔٧ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَونَ عَنْهُ} [النساء: 31]
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The biggest sins are: To join others in worship with Allah; to be undutiful to one's parents; to kill somebody unlawfully; and to take an oath Al-Ghamus. (Using translation from Bukhārī 6675)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكَبَائِرُ الشِّرْكُ بِاللهِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ
The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Whoever comes worshipping Allah and not associating anything with Him, establishing Salah, paying Zakah and avoiding major sins, Paradise will be his." They asked him about major sins and he said: "Associating others with Allah, killing a Muslim soul, and fleeing (from the battlefield) on the day of the march." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4009)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ جَاءَ يَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَيُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْكَبَائِرَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الْكَبَائِرِ فَقَالَ «الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الْمُسْلِمَةِ وَالْفِرَارُ يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ»
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The biggest sins are: To join others in worship with Allah; to be undutiful to one's parents; to kill somebody unlawfully; and to take an oath Al-Ghamus. (Using translation from Bukhārī 6675)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْكَبَائِرُ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَالْيَمِينُ الْغَمُوسُ
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "O Allah, forgive Abdullah ibn Qais, support him, and admit him on the Day of Judgment with a noble entrance."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ وَثِبْهُ وَأَدْخِلْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا»

٥٤۔٤ سُورَةُ النِّسَاءِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ} [النساء: 33]
"To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give your portion." When the Emigrants came to Medina. they inherited from the Helpers without any blood-relationship with them for the brotherhood which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ established between them. When the following verse was revealed: "To (benefit) everyone we have appointed shares and heirs to property left by parent and relatives." it abrogated the verse: "To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion." This alliance was made for help, well wishing and cooperation. Now a legacy can be made for him. (The right to)inheritance was abolished. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2922)
فِي قَوْلِهِ {§وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ فَآتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ} [النساء 33] قَالَ كَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ حِينَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ يَرِثُ الْأَنْصَارَ دُونَ رَحِمِهِ لِلْأُخُوَّةِ الَّتِي آخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ {وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ} [النساء 33] قَالَ فَنَسَخَتْهَا {وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ فَآتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ} [النساء 33] مِنَ النَّصْرِ وَالنَّصِيحِ وَالرِّفَادَةِ وَيُوصِي لَهُ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ الْمِيرَاثُ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ} [النساء: 34]
a man asked the Prophet ﷺ: “What are the right of the woman over her husband?” He said: “That he should feed her as he feeds himself and clothe her as he clothes himself; he should not strike her on the face nor disfigure her, and he should not abandon her except in the house (as a form of discipline).” (Hassan) (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1850)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا؟ قَالَ «تُطْعِمُهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَتَكْسُوَهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ وَلَا تَضْرِبُ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تُقَبِّحُ وَلَا تَهْجُرُ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ} [النساء: 41]
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Recite (of the Qur'an) for me," I said, "Shall I recite it to you although it had been revealed to you?" He said, "I like to hear (the Qur'an) from others." So I recited Surat-an- Nisa' till I reached: "How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness, and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people?" (4.41) Then he said, "Stop!" And behold, his eyes were overflowing with tears." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4582)
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ «اقْرَأْ عَلَيْنَا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي» فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَّغْتُ قَوْلَهُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} [النساء 41] غَمَزَنِي فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تُهْرَاقَانِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى} [النساء: 43]
[Machine] In his statement, {O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated} [Surah An-Nisa 43], he said that it has been abrogated {O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces} [Surah Al-Ma'idah 6]. The verse...
فِي قَوْلِهِ {§يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى} [النساء 43] قَالَ نَسَخَتْهَا {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمُ} [المائدة 6] الْآيَةُ

A man of the Ansar called him and AbdurRahman ibn Awf and supplied them wine before it was prohibited. Ali then led them in the evening prayer, and he recited; "Say: O ye who reject faith." He was confused in it. Then the following verse came down: "O ye who believe! approach not prayers with a mind befogged until you can understand all that ye say. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3671)
أَنْ تُحَرَّمَ الْخَمْرُ فَأَمَّهُمْ عَلِيٌّ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ فَقَرَأَ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ فَخَلَطَ فِيهَا فَنَزَلَتْ {لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّى تَعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ} [النساء 43]

We went out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys till we reached Al-Baida or Dhatul-Jaish where my necklace got broken (and lost). Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped to search for it and the people too stopped with him. There was no water at that place and they had no water with them. So they went to Abu Bakr and said, "Don't you see what ʿAisha has done? She has made Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people stop where there is no water and they have no water with them. Abu Bakr came while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his head on my thigh and said, "You detained Allah Apostle and the people where there is no water and they have no water." He then admonished me and said what Allah wished and pinched me at my flanks with his hands, but I did not move because the head of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on my thigh . Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on sleeping till be got up in the morning and found no water. Then Allah revealed the Divine Verse of Tayammum, and the people performed Tayammum. Usaid bin AlHudair said. "O family of Abu Bakr! This is not the first blessings of yours." We urged the camel on which I was sitting to get up from its place and the necklace was found under it. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3672)
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ أَوْ بِذَاتِ الْجَيْشِ انْقَطَعَ عِقْدٌ لِي فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْتِمَاسِهِ وَأَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ فَأَتَى النَّاسُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالُوا أَلَا تَرَى مَا صَنَعَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَقَامَتْ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبِالنَّاسِ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ؟ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي قَدْ نَامَ فَقَالَ أَحَبَسْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسَ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ؟ قَالَتْ فَعَاتَبَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ بِيَدِهِ فِي خَاصِرَتِي فَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ التَّحَرُّكِ إِلَّا مَكَانُ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَاءٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ {فَتَيَمَّمُوا} [النساء 43] قَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ مَا هِيَ بِأَوَّلِ بَرَكَتِكُمْ يَا آلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ فَبَعَثْنَا الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي كُنْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْنَا الْعِقْدَ تَحْتَهُ

قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ} [النساء: 59]
The Verse: "Obey Allah and Obey the Apostle and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority." (4.59) was revealed in connection with ʿAbdullah bin Hudhafa bin Qais bin ʿAdi' when the Prophet ﷺ appointed him as the commander of a Sariyya (army detachment). (Using translation from Bukhārī 4584)
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ} [النساء 59] نَزَلَتْ فِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ السَّهْمِيِّ إِذْ بَعَثَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي السَّرِيَّةِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ} [النساء: 65]
A man disputed with az-Zubayr about streamlets in the lava plain which was irrigated by them. The Ansari said: Release the water and let it run, but az-Zubayr refused. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said to az-Zubayr: Water (your ground), Zubayr, then let the water run to your neighbour. The Ansari then became angry and said: Messenger of Allah! it is because he is your cousin! Thereupon the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed colour and he said: Water (your ground), then keep back the water till it returns to the embankment. Az-Zubayr said: By Allah! I think this verse came down about that: "But no , by thy Lord! they can have no (real) faith, until they make thee judge....." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3637)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا خَاصَمَ الزُّبَيْرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شِرَاجِ الْحَرَّةِ الَّتِي كَانُوا يَسْقُونَ بِهَا النَّخْلَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ سَرِّحِ الْمَاءَ يَمُرُّ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِمْ فَاخْتَصَمُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلزُّبَيْرِ اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ ثُمَّ أَرْسِلْ إِلَى جَارِكَ فَغَضِبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ عَمَّتِكَ فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا زُبَيْرُ اسْقِ ثُمَّ احْبِسِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجَدْرِ» قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ وَاللهِ إِنِّي أَحْسِبُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ {فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ} [النساء 65]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَأُولَئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ} [النساء: 69]
Used to hear (from the Prophet) that no Prophet dies till he is given the option to select either the worldly life or the life of the Hereafter. I heard the Prophet ﷺ in his fatal disease, with his voice becoming hoarse, saying, "In the company of those on whom is the grace of Allah ..( to the end of the Verse )." (4.69) Thereupon I thought that the Prophet ﷺ had been given the option. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4435)
أَسْمَعُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَمُوتُ حَتَّى يُخَيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ فَأَخَذَتْهُ بُحَّةٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ {مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا} [النساء 69] فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ خُيِّرَ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ} [النساء: 77]
that Abdur-Rahman bin Awf and some of his companions came to the Prophet in Makkah and said: “O Messenger of Allah! We were respected when we were idolaters and when we believed, we were humiliated.” He said: “I have been commanded to pardon, so do not fight.” Then, when Allah caused us to move to Al-Madinah, He commanded us to fight, but they refrained. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: Have you not seen those who were told to hold back their hands (from fighting) and perform As-Salah” (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3086)
أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَأَصْحَابًا لَهُ أَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا فِي عَزٍّ وَنَحْنُ مُشْرِكُونَ فَلَمَّا آمَنَّا صِرْنَا أَذِلَّةً فَقَالَ «إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِالْعَفْوِ فَلَا تُقَاتِلُوا الْقَوْمَ» فَلَمَّا حَوَّلَهُ اللهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَمَرَ بِالْقِتَالِ فَكَفُّوا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوَا الزَّكَاةَ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقِتَالُ إِذَا فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ يَخْشَوْنَ النَّاسَ} [النساء 77]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللهُ أَرْكَسَهُمْ} [النساء: 88]
Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ returned from the battle of Uhud (i.e. refused to fight) whereupon the Muslims got divided into two parties; one of them was in favor of their execution and the other was not in favour of it. So there ware revealed: "Then what is the matter with you that you are divided into two parties about the hypocrites?" (4.88). Then the Prophet ﷺ said "It (i.e. Medina) is a Taybah (good), it expels impurities as the fire expels the impurities of silver." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4589)
فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللهُ أَرْكَسَهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوا قَالَ رَجَعَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أُحُدٍ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ فِيهِمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ اقْتُلْهُمْ وَفَرِيقٌ يَقُولُ لَا فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا تَنْفِي الْخَبَثَ كَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَ الْفِضَّةِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} [النساء: 93]
'Abd al Rahman b. Abzi commanded me that I should ask Ibn 'Abbas about these two verses:" He who slays a believer intentionally his requital shall be Hell where he would abide for ever" (iv. 92). So, I asked him and he said: Nothing has abrogated it. And as for this verse:" And they who call not upon another god with Allah and slay not the soul which Allah has forbidden, except in the cause of justice" (xxv. 68), he (Ibn Abbas) said: This has been revealed in regard to the polytheists." (Using translation from Muslim 3023c)
عَنْ هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} [النساء 93] فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَمْ يَنْسَخْهَا شَيْءٌ وَعَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ} [الفرقان 68] قَالَ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} [النساء: 93]
The people of Kufa differed as regards the killing of a believer so I entered upon Ibn ʿAbbas (and asked him) about that. Ibn ʿAbbas said, "The Verse (in Surat-An-Nisa', 4:93) was the last thing revealed in this respect and nothing cancelled its validity." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4763)
لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ فِي آخِرِ مَا نَزَلَتْ مَا نَسَخَهَا شَيْءٌ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا} [النساء: 94]
The Muslims met a man with some sheep of his. He said: Peace be upon you. But they killed him and took those few sheep. Thereupon the following Qur'anic verse was revealed: "...And say to anyone who offers you a salutation: Thou art none of believer, coveting the perishable good of this life." meaning these few sheep. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3974)
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا غُنَيْمَتَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا} [النساء 94] تِلْكَ الْغُنَيْمَةُ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء: 95]
from Ibn 'Abbas that he said the Ayah: Not equal are those of the believers who sit, except those who are disabled... (4:95) is about Badr and those went out for Badr. At the time of the battle of Badr, 'Abdullah bin Jahsh and Ibn Umm Maktum said: 'We are blind O Messenger of Allah! So is there an exemption for us?' So the following was revealed: Not equal are those of the believers who sit except those who are disabled. But Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward (4:95). So these were the people who sat behind, that were not disabled: But Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward - they are of levels above those who sit among the believers who did not have an excuse." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3032)
عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جَحْشٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ إِنَّا أَعْمَيَانِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَهَلْ لَنَا رُخْصَةٌ؟ فَنَزَلَتْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء 95] {فَضَّلَ اللهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ دَرَجَةً} فَهَؤُلَاءِ الْقَاعِدُونَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ {وَفَضَّلَ اللهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا دَرَجَاتٍ مِنْهُ} [النساء 96] عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء: 95]
"bring me a shoulder blade of a camel, or a tablet, and write: Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home)." [1] 'Amr bin Umm Maktum was behind him and he said: "Is there a concession for me?" Then the following was revealed: "Except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame)." [2] [1] An-Nisa' 4:95. [2] An-Nisa' 4:95. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3101)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا قَالَ «ائْتُونِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ» فَكَتَبَ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء 95] وَعَمْرُو ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ خَلْفَهُ قَالَ هَلْ مِنْ رُخْصَةٍ؟ فَنَزَلَتْ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء 95]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ} [النساء: 98]
An army unit was being recruited from the people of Medina and my name was written among them. Then I met ʿIkrima, and when I informed him about it, he discouraged me very strongly and said, "Ibn ʿAbbas told me that there were some Muslims who were with the pagans to increase their number against Messenger of Allah ﷺ (and the Muslim army) so arrows (from the Muslim army) would hit one of them and kill him or a Muslim would strike him (with his sword) and kill him. So Allah revealed:-- 'Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (by staying among the disbelievers).' (4.97) (Using translation from Bukhārī 7085)
قُطِعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ بَعْثٌ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَاكْتُتِبْتُ فِيهِ فَلَقِيتَ عِكْرِمَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَنَهَانِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَشَدَّ النَّهْيِ وَقَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُكَثِّرُونَ سَوَادَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَيَأْتِي أَحَدُهُمُ السَّهْمُ يُرْمَى بِهِ فَيُصِيبُهُ فَيَقْتُلُهُ أَوْ يُضْرَبُ فَيُقْتَلُ فَنَزَلَتِ {الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا فِيمَ كُنْتُمْ قَالُوا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ} [النساء 97] الْآيَةُ
قَوْلُهُ ﷻ: {فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ} [النساء: 101]
I said to 'Umar bin al Khattab ؓ , ʿAnd when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten AsSalah (the prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)ʿ (al Nisa' 4:101]. But now the people are safe. He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: “It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 174)
أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} [النساء 101] وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ الْآنَ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ أَذًى مِنْ مَطَرٍ} [النساء: 102]
[Machine] About Ibn Abbas: "{If you are hurt by rain or are ill}" [Surah An-Nisa 4:102]. Abdul Rahman ibn Awf added, "Ahmad was wounded."
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ {إِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ أَذًى مِنْ مَطَرٍ أَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضَى} [النساء 102] عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ زَادَ أَحْمَدُ كَانَ جَرِيحًا
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ} [النساء: 123]
[Machine] When the verse "It is not according to your desires, nor according to the desires of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does evil, will have the recompense thereof" [Quran 4:123] was revealed, it caused distress for the Muslims. They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about it. He replied, "Stay close to righteousness and adhere to it, for every affliction that a person faces is an expiation for their sins, even a thorn that pricks them."
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {لَيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ} [النساء 123] شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ «قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا فَفِي كُلِّ مَا يُصَابُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ كَفَّارَةٌ حَتَّى النَّكْبَةُ يُنْكَبُهَا وَالشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَاتَّخَذَ اللهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا} [النساء: 125]
[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying before he passed away five things: He said, "I had brothers and friends among you, and I renounce any friendship for the sake of any Khalil (close friend). If I were to take a Khalil from my Ummah, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a Khalil. But indeed, my Lord has taken me as a Khalil just as He has taken Ibrahim as a Khalil (close friend). And do not turn graves into places of worship, for I forbid you to do so."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُتَوَفَّى بِخَمْسٍ يَقُولُ «قَدْ كَانَ لِي مِنْكُمْ إِخْوَةٌ وَأَصْدِقَاءُ وَإِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَلِيلٍ مِنْ خُلَّتِهِ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَإِنَّ رَبِّي اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلًا كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْقُبُورَ مَسَاجِدَ فَإِنِّي أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ وَمَا} [النساء: 127]
[Machine] About Aisha, in his saying, "And they ask you about women, say: Allah will instruct you about them, and [also] what is recited to you in the Book concerning the orphan girls to whom you are not giving what is ordained for them" [Quran 4:127]. She said, it was revealed about the orphan girl who is with a man, maybe she is his partner in his wealth, and he is her guardian, so he desires to marry her but dislikes marrying her to another man who will share his wealth with her, which she partnered with him. So Allah revealed, "And they ask you about women" [Quran 4:127].
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ وَمَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ فِي يَتَامَى النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لَا تُؤْتُونَهُنَّ} [النساء 127] قَالَتْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي الْيَتِيمَةِ تَكُونُ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ لَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ قَدْ شَرِكَتْهُ فِي مَالِهِ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهَا فَيَرْغَبُ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا وَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا رَجُلًا فَيَشْرَكُهُ فِي مَالِهِ بِمَا شَرِكَتْهُ فَيَعْضُلُهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ {وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ} [النساء 127]

regarding the Verse: 'If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part ...') (4.128) It concerns the woman whose husband does not want to keep her with him any longer, but wants to divorce her and marry some other lady, so she says to him: 'Keep me and do not divorce me, and then marry another woman, and you may neither spend on me, nor sleep with me.' This is indicated by the Statement of Allah: 'There is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between them both, and (such) settlement is better." (4.128) (Using translation from Bukhārī 5206)
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَإِنِ امْرَأَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنْ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوزًا أَوْ إِعْرَاضًا} [النساء 128] أُنْزِلَتْ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تَكُونُ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ لَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنْهَا فَيُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا وَيَتَزَوَّجَ غَيْرَهَا فَتَقُولُ لَا تُطَلِّقْنِي وَأَمْسِكْنِي وَأَنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ وَالْقِسْمَةِ لِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ {فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا أَنْ يُصْلِحَا بَيْنَهُمَا صُلْحًا} [النساء 128]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَلَا تَقْعُدُوا مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ} [النساء: 140]
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Woe to him who tells things, speaking falsely, to make people laugh thereby. Woe to him! Woe to him!. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4990)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ فَيَكْذِبُ فَيُضْحِكُ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ»
عَلَامَةٌ الْمُنَافِقِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: 1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. 2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ). 3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)" (Using translation from Bukhārī 33)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ

that al-Ḥārith b. Hishām ؓ asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah of Allah, how does the Waḥī (Divine Inspiration) come to you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "(1) Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell: and this form is the hardest upon me and then ˹this state˺ is lifted off of me after I have grasped what is inspired. And (2) sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says."
ʿĀʾishah added: "I saw the Waḥī being revealed upon him on an extremely cold day and then ˹the state˺ was lifted from him and his forehead was dripping with sweat." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2)
أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ يَأْتِيكَ الْوَحْيُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَحْيَانًا يَأْتِينِي مِثْلَ صَلْصَلَةِ الْجَرَسِ وَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَيَّ فَيُفْصَمُ عَنِّي وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ مَا قَالَ وَأَحْيَانًا يَتَمَثَّلُ لِي الْمَلَكُ رَجُلًا فَيُكَلِّمُنِي فَأَعِي مَا يَقُولُ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّدِيدِ الْبَرْدِ فَيُفْصَمُ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّ جَبِينَهُ لَيَتَفَصَّدُ عَرَقًا
قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ: {إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ كَمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى نُوحٍ} [النساء: 163]
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Every Prophet was given miracles because of which people believed, but what I have been given, is Divine Inspiration which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4981)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا قَدْ أُعْطِيَ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا مِثْلُهُ آمَنَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَشَرُ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُ وَحْيًا أَوْحَاهُ اللهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ تَابِعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى تَكْلِيمًا} [النساء: 164]
"Adam and Musa argued, Musa said: "O Adam! You are the one that Allah created with His Hand, and blew into you of His Spirit, and you misled the people and caused them to be expelled from Paradise.' So Adam said: 'You are Musa, the one Allah selected with His Speech! Are you blaming me for something I did which Allah had decreed for me, before creating the heavens and the earth?'" He said: " So Adam confuted Musa." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2134)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ احْتَجَّ آدَمُ وَمُوسَى فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِآدَمَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ اللهُ بِيَدِهِ وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ أَغْوَيْتَ النَّاسَ وَأَخْرَجْتَهُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ آدَمُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَكَلَّمَكَ تَكْلِيمًا أَتَلُومُنِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا كَتَبَهُ اللهُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّمَا الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ} [النساء: 171]
[Machine] Narrated Anas from the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , about intercession. Anas said, Muhammad, ﷺ , said, "On the Day of Judgment, people will run away from one another, and Adam will be approached and it will be said to him, 'O Adam, intercede for your descendants.' He will say, 'I am not able to do so, but go to Ibrahim, for he is the intimate friend of the Most Merciful.' Ibrahim will be approached and he will say, 'I am not able to do so, but go to Musa, for he is the one who conversed with Allah.' Musa will be approached and he will say, 'I am not able to do so, but go to Isa, for he is the Spirit of Allah and His Word.' Isa will be approached and he will say, 'I am not able to do so, but go to Muhammad, ﷺ , for he is the best of creation.' So Muhammad, ﷺ , will be approached and it will be said to him, 'O Muhammad, intercede for your Ummah (nation).' He will say, 'I am able to do so.' Then I will seek permission from my Lord, and permission will be granted to me. I will then stand in front of Him and He will inspire me with praises that I will not be able to comprehend at that moment. I will praise Him with those praises, then prostrate before Him. It will be said to me, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak. You will be heard, and ask, you will be granted, and intercede, your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah.' It will be said, 'Go forth, and whoever has even an atom's weight of faith in his heart, take him out of the Fire.' So I will go forth and do that, then I will return, praising Him with those praises. I will prostrate before Him again, and it will be said to me, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak. You will be heard, and ask, you will be granted, and intercede, your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah.' It will be said, 'Go forth, and whoever has even an atom's weight of mustard seed of faith in his heart, take him out of the Fire.' So I will go forth and do that, then I will return, praising Him with those praises. I will prostrate before Him again, and it will be said to me, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak. You will be heard, and ask, you will be granted, and intercede, your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my Ummah, my Ummah.' It will be said, 'Go forth, and whoever has even an atom's weight lesser than that of faith in his heart, take him out of the Fire.' So I will go forth and do that." This is the account of Anas, and it reaches its conclusion.
عَنْ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ مَاجَ النَّاسُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ فَيُؤْتَى آدَمُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ يَا آدَمُ اشْفَعْ لِذُرِّيَّتِكَ فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ لَهَا وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَهُوَ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَيُؤْتَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَيَقُولُ يَعْنِي لَسْتُ لَهَا وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمُوسَى فَهُوَ كَلِيمُ اللهِ فَيُؤْتَى مُوسَى فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ لَهَا وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِعِيسَى فَهُوَ رَوْحُ اللهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ فَيُؤْتَى عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَيَقُولُ لَسْتُ لَهَا وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَأُوتَى فَأَقُولُ أَنَا لَهَا فَأَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَبِّي فَيُؤَذَنُ لِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَقُومُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُلْهِمُنِي مَحَامِدَ لَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا الْآنَ فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَحَامِدِ ثُمَّ أَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا فَيَقُولُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ قُلْ تُسْمَعْ سَلْ تُعْطَ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيُقَالُ انْطَلِقْ فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ إِمَّا قَالَ مِثْقَالُ بُرَّةٍ أَوْ شَعِيرَةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجْهُ مِنْهَا فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَأَفْعَلُ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ فَأَحْمَدُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَحَامِدِ ثُمَّ أَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا فَيُقَالُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيُقَالُ انْطَلِقْ فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجْهُ مِنْهَا فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَأَفْعَلُ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَحَامِدِ ثُمَّ أَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا فَيُقَالُ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ وَسَلْ تُعْطَ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيُقَالُ انْطَلِقْ فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَدْنَى أَدْنَى أَدْنَى مِنْ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ فَأَخْرِجْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْطَلِقُ حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ إِلَى مُنْتَهَاهُ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّمَا الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ} [النساء: 171]
The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone testifies that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no partners, and that Muhammad is His Slave and His Apostle, and that Jesus is Allah's Slave and His Apostle and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit created by Him, and that Paradise is true, and Hell is true, Allah will admit him into Paradise with the deeds which he had done even if those deeds were few." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3435)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنَّ عِيسَى عَبْدُ اللهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ وَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ النَّارَ حَقٌّ أَدْخِلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ»

٥٤۔٤۔٣٥ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء: 176]
The last verse revealed about the decease who left no descendants or ascendants: "They ask thee for the legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2888)
آخِرُ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء 176]
Once I fell ill. The Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr came walking to pay me a visit and found me unconscious. The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution and then poured the remaining water on me, and I came to my senses to see the Prophet. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What shall I do with my property? How shall I dispose of (distribute) my property?" He did not reply till the Verse of inheritance was revealed. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5651)
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ يَعُودَانِي وَهُمَا يَمْشِيَانِ فَوَجَدَانِي قَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَبَّ وُضُوءَهُ عَلَيَّ فَأَفَقْتُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ أُوصِي فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أُوصِي فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي؟ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء 176]
[Machine] I do not leave anything that is more important to me than forgiveness, and nothing has ever hurt me as much as the company of those who do not forgive. I will not be swayed by forgiveness until he punctuated my chest with his finger and said, "O Umar, what is sufficient for you is the verse of the summer in Surah An-Nisa'. And indeed, if I were to live, I would pass judgment in it, being the one who recites the Quran and the one who does not."- in summary.
إِنِّي لَا أَدَعُ شَيْئًا بَعْدِي أَهَمَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْكَلَالَةِ وَلَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِي شَيْءٍ مُذْ يَعْنِي صَحِبْتُهُ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِي الْكَلَالَةِ حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ وَإِنِّي إِنْ أَعِشْ أَقْضِ فِيهَا بِقَضِيَّةٍ يَقْضِي بِهَا مَنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ لَا يَقْرَأُ» مُخْتَصَرٌ
[Machine] The last verses revealed in the Quran are the last verses of Surah An-Nisa.
«آخِرُ آيَاتٍ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ آخِرُ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ»
