At-Tahrim

O Prophet, why do you forbid yourself what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking to please your wives? Allah is Forgiving, Merciful, and He has made a way to free yourselves from such oaths. The Prophet ﷺ told one of his wives a secret, and she passed it on; Allah let him know, and he told her part of it. If the two of them turn to Allah, their hearts have already leaned; but if they work against him, Allah is his protector, and Jibril, the righteous believers and the angels support him. His Lord could give him better wives in their place: devoted, believing, obedient and repentant. O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which stand stern, strong angels who never disobey Allah. On that Day the disbelievers will be told that excuses are of no use. O you who believe, turn to Allah in sincere repentance; perhaps your Lord will remove your misdeeds and admit you to Gardens with rivers, on the Day He will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them, and they will say, “Our Lord, complete our light for us and forgive us.” Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites. The wives of Nuh and Lut betrayed those righteous men, and it did not help them at all. The wife of Pharaoh prayed, “My Lord, build me a house near You in the Garden, and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds.” And Maryam, daughter of ‘Imran, guarded her chastity; she believed in the words of her Lord and His Books and was one of the devout.
