Commentary

Harajun – (objection, harm, blame, restriction etc.)

Every individual in the Arab used to follow own thoughts in the matters of eating and drinking. Poor, blind, lame and sick people used to hesitate during taking food along with rich and healthy people that their food or way of eating may not be unpleasant for them. Some rich and healthy people did not use to feed them along with themselves, else they have any complaint that they were misbehaved. Sometimes it happened that the person who did not have any food, did not consider either suitable to meet his close relatives or hesitate from causing to give the necessitous some food from the rich that whether they do not begin to consider it burden upon themselves by violence. Moreover, there was a fashion in some folks that their every member used to eat separately, and some people used to eat altogether collectively.

It has been commanded in this verse: You should not care so much in frank mutual friendly intercourse; by which resistances are produced, willing or not willing. There should be no restriction in the matters of eating and drinking. Every person should eat and cause to eat at his home as he feels easy. If he suffers from any such situation, he can eat frankly from the houses of his father, mother, brother and sister. None should feel mean-mindedness in causing to eat, and nor the needy should be ceremonious unreasonably.
