قَوْلُهُ: {إِذَا جَاءَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ} [الممتحنة: 10]
When this verse was revealed:" When believing women came to thee giving thee a pledge that they will not associate aught with Allah, and will not disobey thee in good" (lx. 12), she (Umm Atiyya) said: In (this pledge) was also included wailing. I said: Messenger of Allah, except members of such a tribe who helped me (in lamentation) during pre-Islamic days, there is left no alternative for me, but that I should also help them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: (Yes) but only in case of the members of such a tribe. (Using translation from Muslim 937)
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ} [الممتحنة 12] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَلَا يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ} [الممتحنة 12] قَالَتْ كَانَ مِنْهُ النِّيَاحَةُ فَقُلْتُ إِلَّا آلَ فُلَانٍ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ كَانُوا أَسْعَدُونِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَا بُدَّ لِي مِنْ أَنْ أُسْعِدَهُمْ قَالَ «إِلَّا آلَ فُلَانٍ»
