Particular privilege granted to the Prophet

Chapter “’Al-‘Ahzaab” - (The Clans) - 33

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

لِكَيْلَا يَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ حَرَجٌ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا 50c  تُرْجِى مَن تَشَآءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُـْٔوِىٓ إِلَيْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ 51a 

                                       

50c.  that thou mayst be free from blame. And Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Merciful. 51a.  Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee whom thou wilt, and whomsoever thou desireth of those whom thou hast set aside (temporarily), it is no sin for thee (to receive her again);

50c.  likaylaa  yakuuna  ‘alayka  haraj.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  Gafuurar-Rahiimaa. 51a.  Turjii  man-  tashaaa-‘u  min-hunna  wa  tu’-wiii  ‘ilayka  man-  tashaaa’.  Wa  manibtagayta  mimman  ‘azalta  falaa  junaaha  ‘alayk.

Commentary

                                                               

It is commanded: This particular privilege has been granted to you {O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)} for the purpose that your precious time would not be spent in useless disputes, and your real duties; which are required to be fulfilled by you, may not be disturbed. And it all happened under the control of God’s Epithet of forgiveness and mercy. Accordingly, you have been empowered to keep your wives in accordance with your will, whether you set aside any of them or take to yourself whom you will. And if any that you desire to receive again of those wives from whom you had temporarily separated, it depends upon you.

In short, there is neither any restriction upon you concerning your wives and nor it is necessary that you should give equal time to your all wives turn by turn as it is incumbent on those husbands who have more than one wives.

The Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) had full authority concerning his wives that he could keep his wives as he desired. Even then, he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) did never reap advantage from this leave, but he remained with every wife with justice during everyone’s turn, and fulfilled the rights of all of them equally.
