Commentary

                                                               

YAQNUT – (devoutly obey, is submissive), origin of this word is qanata. Qanuut means “to humiliate oneself humbly”.

‘Ittaqaytunna – {if you keep your duty to (fear) Allaah}, this word has been derived from ‘itqaa’, which means “piety”. Its origin is waqyun, which means “to save”. ‘Ittaqaa’ means “to escape, that is to say, to be abstinent”.

It is being commanded to the wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): We will give reward twice to those of you who will devoutly obey Allaah Almighty and His Messenger and will do righteousness, and We have prepared for them a noble provision.

After that, it is commanded: You are not like other common women. Your status is very higher than them. You should adopt such good habits which should be followed by other women after observing you. Dignity of this status demands that you should escape from bad habits due to fear of Allaah Almighty and give up such matters by which there is risk of spreading badness. One of those affairs is that you should not be soft, at the time of necessity, in your speech with any third person. You should say with awe and dignity whatever you wish to say.
