Commentary on 66:1
(p-٥٠٣)سُورَةُ "اَلتَّحْرِيمِ"
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَحْمَنِ الرَحِيمِ
﴿يا أيُّها النَبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ ما أحَلَّ اللهُ لَكَ﴾ رُوِيَ «أنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَلا بِمارِيَةَ في يَوْمِ عائِشَةَ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْها -، وعَلِمَتْ بِذَلِكَ حَفْصَةُ، فَقالَ لَها: "اُكْتُمِي عَلَيَّ"، وقَدْ حَرَّمْتُ مارِيَةَ عَلى نَفْسِي، وأُبَشِّرُكِ أنَّ أبا بَكْرٍ وعُمَرَ يَمْلِكانِ بَعْدِي أمْرَ أُمَّتِي"، فَأخْبَرَتْ بِهِ عائِشَةَ، وكانَتا مُتَصادِقَتَيْنِ، وقِيلَ: خَلا بِها في يَوْمِ حَفْصَةَ، فَأرْضاها بِذَلِكَ، واسْتَكْتَمَها، فَلَمْ تَكْتُمْ، فَطَلَّقَها، واعْتَزَلَ نِساءَهُ، ومَكَثَ تِسْعًا وعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً في بَيْتِ مارِيَةَ، فَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ السَلامُ - وقالَ: "راجِعْها فَإنَّها صَوّامَةٌ قَوّامَةٌ، وإنَّها لَمِن نِسائِكَ في الجَنَّةِ" »، ورُوِيَ «أنَّهُ شَرِبَ عَسَلًا في بَيْتِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، فَتَواطَأتْ عائِشَةُ وحَفْصَةُ، وقالَتا لَهُ: "إنّا نَشُمُّ مِنكَ رِيحَ المَغافِيرِ"، وكانَ يَكْرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ التَفْلَ، فَحَرَّمَ العَسَلَ، » فَمَعْناهُ: "لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ ما أحَلَّ اللهُ لَكَ مِن مِلْكِ اليَمِينِ، (p-٥٠٤)أوْ مِنَ العَسَلِ؟"،
﴿تَبْتَغِي مَرْضاتَ أزْواجِكَ﴾، تَفْسِيرٌ لِـ "تُحَرِّمُ"، أوْ حالٌ، أوِ اسْتِئْنافٌ، وكانَ هَذا زَلَّةً مِنهُ، لِأنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِأحَدٍ أنْ يُحَرِّمَ ما أحَلَّ اللهُ،
﴿واللهُ غَفُورٌ﴾، قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ ما زَلَلْتَ فِيهِ،
﴿رَحِيمٌ﴾، قَدْ رَحِمَكَ، فَلَمْ يُؤاخِذْكَ بِهِ.

The Prohibition · Medinan · 12 ayahs
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
66:1
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكَۖ تَبۡتَغِي مَرۡضَاتَ أَزۡوَٰجِكَۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١
O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allāh has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
66:2
قَدۡ فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ تَحِلَّةَ أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٢
Allāh has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths.1 And Allāh is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise.
1 translator’s note
- By means of a kaffārah (expiation). This is required when one is unable to fulfill an oath or when one has taken an oath which would not be pleasing to Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā). See 5:89. ↩
66:3
وَإِذۡ أَسَرَّ ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَىٰ بَعۡضِ أَزۡوَٰجِهِۦ حَدِيثٗا فَلَمَّا نَبَّأَتۡ بِهِۦ وَأَظۡهَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ عَرَّفَ بَعۡضَهُۥ وَأَعۡرَضَ عَنۢ بَعۡضٖۖ فَلَمَّا نَبَّأَهَا بِهِۦ قَالَتۡ مَنۡ أَنۢبَأَكَ هَٰذَاۖ قَالَ نَبَّأَنِيَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ ٣
And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allāh showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?" He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Aware."
66:4
إِن تَتُوبَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ صَغَتۡ قُلُوبُكُمَاۖ وَإِن تَظَٰهَرَا عَلَيۡهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰهُ وَجِبۡرِيلُ وَصَٰلِحُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَۖ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ ظَهِيرٌ ٤
If you two [wives] repent to Allāh, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allāh is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants.
66:5
عَسَىٰ رَبُّهُۥٓ إِن طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَن يُبۡدِلَهُۥٓ أَزۡوَٰجًا خَيۡرٗا مِّنكُنَّ مُسۡلِمَٰتٖ مُّؤۡمِنَٰتٖ قَٰنِتَٰتٖ تَٰٓئِبَٰتٍ عَٰبِدَٰتٖ سَٰٓئِحَٰتٖ ثَيِّبَٰتٖ وَأَبۡكَارٗا ٥
Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allāh], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling1 - [ones] previously married and virgins.
1 translator’s note
- Emigrating for the cause of Allāh. Another meaning is "given to fasting." ↩
66:6
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَأَهۡلِيكُمۡ نَارٗا وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلۡحِجَارَةُ عَلَيۡهَا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٌ غِلَاظٞ شِدَادٞ لَّا يَعۡصُونَ ٱللَّهَ مَآ أَمَرَهُمۡ وَيَفۡعَلُونَ مَا يُؤۡمَرُونَ ٦
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allāh in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.
66:7
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَعۡتَذِرُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ إِنَّمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٧
O you who have disbelieved, make no excuses that Day. You will only be recompensed for what you used to do.
