اور یاد کر جب نبی نے اپنی بعض عورتوں سے ایک پوشیده بات کہی، پس جب اس نے اس بات کی خبر کر دی اور اللہ نے اپنے نبی کو اس پر آگاه کر دیا تو نبی نے تھوڑی سی بات تو بتا دی اور تھوڑی سی ٹال گئے، پھر جب نبی نے اپنی اس بیوی کو یہ بات بتائی تو وه کہنے لگی اس کی خبر آپ کو کس نے دی۔ کہا سب جاننے والے پوری خبر رکھنے والے اللہ نے مجھے یہ بتلایا ہے
Quran 66 Verse 3 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Tahrim ayat 3, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(65:3) and will provide him sustenance from whence he never even imagined.[10] Whoever puts his trust in Allah, He shall suffice him. Surely Allah brings about what He decrees;[11] Allah has set a measure for everything.
10. It means: keeping the divorced wife in the house during the waiting period, to maintain her and to pay her the dower, or something in addition at departure certainly burdens a man financially. To spend on a woman whom one has already decided to send away because of strained relations will surely be irksome, and if the man is also poor, this expenditure will further pinch him. But a man, who fears Allah, should endure all this gracefully. Allah is not niggardly as the people are. If a person spends his wealth in accordance with His law, He will provide for him in a manner beyond all expectations.
11. That is, there is no power that can prevent Allah’s decree from enforcement.
