‘Urwah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) about the saying of Allah,“If you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls...”She said,“O my nephew! Its meaning is that an orphan woman is under the guardianship of her guardian and shares in his wealth, so her guardian is attracted by her wealth and beauty and wishes to marry her, but does not want to give her the dowry (mahr) justly (as others would give her). So Allah Almighty, in this verse, forbade such people from marrying such orphan girls until they give them their full dowry justly, and they were commanded: ‘Marry other women who seem good to you besides those orphan women.’ Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) said that after the revelation of this verse, some people wanted to seek a ruling from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about these women, so Allah revealed this verse: ‘They ask you for a ruling concerning women’ (An-Nisa: 127). Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) said that in the second verse, where it is said, ‘That is, those orphan women whose wealth and beauty are less and you dislike marrying them,’ so Allah’s command was that those women who are orphans and you do not desire them due to their lack of wealth and beauty, if they possess much wealth, do not marry them except in the case that you deal justly with their wealth and dowry.”

‘Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came on foot to visit me in the locality of Banu Salamah. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that I was lying unconscious, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for water, performed ablution, and then sprinkled the water over me. I regained consciousness. I submitted,“O Messenger of Allah! What do you command regarding how I should distribute my wealth?”At that time, this verse was revealed:“Allah instructs you concerning your children...”— the entire verse.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): Some people asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" ... and he narrated the entire hadith which has already been mentioned (see the Book: Matters of Prayer... Chapter: The Virtue of Prostration...). Then he said: "When the Day of Resurrection comes, a caller will announce: 'Let every person go with that which he used to worship.' So none of those who worshipped other than Allah will remain; all will go with their deities, idols, and objects of worship and fall into Hell, until only those remain who used to worship Allah. Among them will be righteous and sinful Muslims, and some remnants of the People of the Book. First, the Jews will be called and it will be said to them: 'Whom did you worship?' They will say: 'We worshipped 'Uzair (peace be upon him), the son of Allah.' It will be said to them: 'You have lied; Allah has neither a wife nor a son. Now, what do you want?' The Jews will say: 'O our Lord! We are thirsty, give us water to drink.' Then it will be pointed out to them: 'Will you not fall into the Fire?' At that moment, all of them will rush eagerly towards the Fire, as if the Fire is water (that will quench their thirst), and they will fall into it. Then the Christians will be called, and they will also be asked: 'Whom did you worship?' They will say: 'We worshipped the Messiah, the son of Allah.' It will be said: 'You have lied; Allah has neither a wife nor a son.' Then it will be said: 'Now, what do you want?' They will say the same as the Jews said, and they will fall into it just as they did, until none remain except those who worshipped Allah alone, whether from the righteous or the sinners; they will remain. At that time, Allah will appear to them in a form resembling the one they had seen before, but it will not be the same form, and it will be said to them: 'What are you waiting for? For every nation has gone with its deity.' They will say: 'In the world, when we needed those misguided people, we kept away from them and did not join them; we are waiting for our true Lord, whom we used to worship.' So Allah will say: 'I am your (true) Lord.' They will say: 'We do not associate anyone as a partner with Allah.' They will say this two or three times."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me, "Recite the Qur'an to me." I said, "How can I recite it to you when it has been revealed to you?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "I like to hear it from someone else." So I began to recite Surah An-Nisa, and when I reached the verse, "Then how will it be when We bring from every nation a witness?" he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Stop." And tears were flowing from his eyes.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), some Muslims joined the polytheists so that their group would become larger, and then (at the time of battle) an arrow would come and one of them would be killed, or someone would be killed by the strike of a sword. At that time, this verse was revealed: "Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves, [the angels] will say, 'In what [condition] were you?...'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever considers himself better than Yunus bin Matta (the Prophet, peace be upon him), he is a liar."
