بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

33.51

تُرْجِیْ مَنْ تَشَآءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَ تُـْٔوِیْۤ اِلَیْكَ مَنْ تَشَآءُؕ-وَ مَنِ ابْتَغَیْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكَؕ-ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰۤى اَنْ تَقَرَّ اَعْیُنُهُنَّ وَ لَا یَحْزَنَّ وَ یَرْضَیْنَ بِمَاۤ اٰتَیْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِكُمْؕ-وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمًا حَلِیْمًا(51)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

You may distance whomsoever you will among them and bring near whomsoever you will. [1] And whomsoever you wish ˹to bring near˺ from those whom you distanced, so there is no sin upon you. This is closer to this that their eyes may be comforted, and they do not grieve, and they all remain content with whatever you grant them—and Allah knows what is in your hearts; Allah is All-Knowing, Most-Forbearing.

Commentary

[1]

In spite of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم being given the authority to assign time to his wives as he desired, he was entirely just to all his noble wives رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُنَّ and evenly shared his time among them. There is a great lesson in this. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم treated his wives equally despite being given the authority to distribute his time as he wished; hence, it is vital for those who have not been granted this right to act equitably to the greatest degree possible.
