Commentary:
Though in a technical sense Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian nor yet a Muslim for he lived long before these faiths came into existence, yet keeping in view the inner spirit of the faith he was certainly most nearly related to Islam and its Holy Founder. Jews and Christians had no right to claim him as their spiritual progenitor when all their beliefs and practices were at such variance with his teaching.

وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلنَّبِىِّ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا ٱتَّخَذُوهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ وَلَٰكِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ
The Prophet referred to in this verse is the Holy Prophet, for wherever in the Qur’an the word an-Nabi (the Prophet) is used, it invariably refers to the Holy Prophet. Even the Gospels referred to him as "that Prophet" (John, 1: 21-25), i.e. the Prophet whose advent was foretold in Deut. 18:18.
Commentary:
The Prophet referred to in this verse is the Holy Prophet of Islam and not Moses; for wherever the Quran used the word النبی (the Prophet), it invariably refers to the Holy Prophet. Even the Jews referred to him as "that Prophet" (see John 1:21, 25), i.e. the Prophet whose advent had been foretold in Deut. 18:18.
The verse means to say that if Jews had accepted the Holy Prophet and acted upon the Quranic principle that when making friends with others those who are nearer in faith should be given preference over those who are not, they would never have preferred idolaters to Muslims as friends; for, while the latter have most things in common with them and believe in all their Prophets, the former do not. In contravention of this great principle, however, Jews, to their own detriment, not only chose to make friends with idolaters in preference to Muslims, but even declared the former to be better guided than the latter (4:52).

在本节经文中以及在 «古兰经» 中的其他几处, 穆圣一直被称呼为 اَلنَّبِی (An-Nabi, 先知)。没有别的先知在任何启示经文中或 «古兰经» 中曾被这样称呼。所有其他先知都以他们的本身姓名称呼。这一称呼上的独特性表明了穆圣是 An-Nabi, 即杰出的先知。或者, 这一称呼方式也许就是指 «圣经» 中一个预言所讲的 “那位先知” 的降临 («约翰» 1:21, 25)。
The Holy Prophet has been addressed as An-Nabi (The Prophet) in this verse and at several other places in the Qur’an. No other Prophet in any revealed Scripture, or in the Qur’an, has been addressed as such. All other Prophets have been addressed by their proper names. This peculiarity of address shows that the Holy Prophet is An-Nabi, i.e. the Prophet par excellence. Or, the reference in this form of address may be to a biblical Prophecy in which the advent of "that Prophet" has been foretold (John, 1: 21, 25).
Commentary:
In deference to his very exalted spiritual rank the Holy Prophet has been addressed as النبی (the Prophet) in the present verse and at several other places in the Quran. No other Prophet in any revealed Scripture or in the Quran has been addressed as such. All the Prophets have been addressed by their proper names. This peculiarity of address for the Holy Prophet has been adopted to show that he alone is النبی i.e. the Prophet par excellence. Or the reference in this form of address may be to a Biblical prophecy in which the advent of "that Prophet" has been foretold. The prophecy clearly and definitely applies only to the Holy Prophet.
Incidentally, according to Quranic idiom the word النبی (the Prophet) implies also the followers of the Holy Prophet.

如果对以上第六节经文中所含的命令有所误解, 就可以产生一种模棱两可的解释。本节经文为此加以说明, 那节经文中告诫信者们以他们父亲的姓氏呼唤他们, 而在本节经文中, 穆圣按其含意, 已被称为信者之父。上节经文提到血亲关系, 而现在注释的这节经文提到穆圣与信者之间的精神关系。
通过穆圣作为精神父亲的身份所形成的伊斯兰教内的兄弟关系, 也许造成了穆斯林中可以相互继承财产的这一错觉。本节经文试图消除这种错觉, 规定只有血亲关系可以相互继承, 并且在血亲关系中只有信者们可以继承, 而不信的人是不准继承他们信仰的亲属的。本节经文也废除了麦加的移居者在来到麦地那后与麦地那的非血亲之间所建立的那种形式的兄弟关系, 按照那样的关系, 一个 “移居者” 甚至就会继承一个 “非血亲” 所留下的财产。那种兄弟关系不过是一个临时措施而用来恢复来自麦加移居者的权利, 已不复存在; 而血亲关系, 不只是单独的信仰, 却成为确定继承和其他同样性质的事务中的决定因素。可是伊斯兰教内更广泛的兄弟关系依然继续存在, 并要求所有穆斯林之间都像亲兄弟一般相互对待。

The verse clears a possible ambiguity that might have arisen from misunderstanding the injunction contained in v.6 above. While in that verse the believers were enjoined to call them after their fathers, in the present verse the Holy Prophet, by implication, has been called the father of the Faithful. The preceding verse speaks of blood-relationship but the verse under comment speaks of the spiritual relationship that subsists between the Holy Prophet and the Faithful.
The Islamic Brotherhood which had come into being through the spiritual fatherhood of the Holy Prophet might have led to the misconception that Muslims could inherit each other’s property. The verse seeks to remove this misconception by laying down that only blood-relations can inherit each other and that from among the blood-relation only the believers can inherit, the disbelievers having been debarred from inheriting their believing relatives. The verse also abolishes that form of brotherhood which was established between the Emigrants of Mecca and the Helpers of Medina on the former’s arrival in Medina, according to which an "Emigrant" would even inherit the property left by an "Helper." That brotherhood, which was but a temporary measure and was adopted to rehabilitate the Emigrants from Mecca, ceased to exist, and blood-relationship, and not faith alone, became the decisive factor in determining inheritance and other kindred matters.

In fact, the preceding verse speaks of blood-relationship and the verse under comment speaks of the spiritual relationship that subsists between the Holy Prophet and the Faithful. It purports to say that in his capacity as their spiritual father, the Holy Prophet stands closer to them than even their own selves and that his wives being their spiritual mothers ought to be treated by them with greater regard and respect than the mothers who gave them birth, because spiritual relationship stands on a much higher plane than physical relationship. It is to this supreme reality that the Holy Prophet has drawn attention in a well-known saying of his, viz. "the faith of a believer does not become perfect unless the love he bears to me transcends all worldly connections and relationships" (Bukhari, Kitabul-Iman).

这是在迁都 (هِجْرَة, Hijrah--------公元六二二年圣人穆罕默德从麦加迁居到麦地那) 之前麦地那的名称。
This was the name of Medina before the Hijrah.
The words mean, 'Return to your old faith, or go back to your homes.'
Important Words:
عورة (exposed) is derived from عور and means, part between the navel and knee, pudenda; every part of the body which a person covers; defenceless or exposed; disgrace; any place of concealment; a cleft or fissure in a mountain; a woman; a time in which it is not proper for a woman to appear in public, as at or before day-break, nightfall, and mid-day; vice; weakness; blindness of one eye (Lane & Aqrab). See also 24:32.
یثرب is derived from ثرب. They say ثربه i.e. he rebuked or reproached him and showed him to be foul; he stripped him of his garment (Aqrab). یثرب (which now is known as مدینة النبی i.e. the City of the Prophet) was so called perhaps because the place was malaria-stricken or because the Medinites being cultivators and having been given to farming were looked down upon by the warlike Arabs. See also 12:93.
Commentary:
The reference in the word طائفة (party) is to the hypocrites of Medina. Weakness of faith causes hypocrisy and vice versa.
The expression, "therefore turn back," may mean, return to your old faith, or (2) go back to your homes.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ إِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا
As the Holy Prophet’s wives were to serve as a model in social behaviour, it was in the fitness of things that they should have been required to set an example in self-denial. Not that the use of money and the amenities of life were completely forbidden to them, but they were certainly expected to set a very high standard of self-abnegation. It is to this high standard of the sacrifice of material benefits and of an affluent and easy living to which the present and the following few verses refer. The companionship of the Holy Prophet demanded this sacrifice, and his wives were told to make a choice between comfortable life and his companionship.
Commentary:
As a result of the Battle of the Ditch and of the subsequent banishment of the Banu Quraizah, large booty fell into the hands of Muslims. They were also promised more conquests and wealth (see v. 28 above). From a persecuted and economically very poor minority they had grown into a rich, powerful and prosperous community. Material wealth, however, brings in its train worldly-mindedness, and a desire for ease and comfort and a disinclination to render acts of service and sacrifice. This is a state of affairs which a Reformer has especially to guard against. As love of ease and comfort, generally makes its appearance first in the domestic circle, and as the members of the Holy Prophet’s household were to serve as a model in social behaviour, it was in the fitness of things that they should have been required to set an example in self-denial. Not that the use of money was altogether taboo or that amenities of life were completely forbidden to them, but they were, no doubt, expected to set a very high standard of self-abnegation. It is to this high standard of the sacrifice of material benefits and of an affluent and easy living, to which the present and the following few verses refer. The companionship of the Holy Prophet demanded this sacrifice, and his wives were told to make a choice between comfortable life and his companionship, and it should be said to their credit that they chose the latter alternative and that even when, afterwards, in the time of the Caliphate of ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, very high stipends were paid to them, they lived extremely simple lives and spent most of the money in charity.
The words, "I will provide for you and send you away in a handsome manner" imply that the Holy Prophet’s wives were allowed a free choice and if anyone of them had elected to part company with him, it would have entailed no displeasure of God, on the contrary she would have been handsomely provided.
It may also be noted that just as the Holy Prophet was a perfect exemplar for all sections of humanity, his wives were expected to serve as model for women in their special sphere. This is why they have been called "the Mothers of the Faithful." Naturally, a very strict and high standard of self-discipline and self-denial is demanded of them in this and the next few verses.

Not that the use of money was altogether taboo or that amenities of life were completely forbidden to them, but they were, no doubt, expected to set a very high standard of self-abnegation. It is to this high standard of the sacrifice of material benefits and of an affluent and easy living, to which the present and the following few verses refer. The companionship of the Holy Prophet demanded this sacrifice, and his wives were told to make a choice between comfortable life and his companionship, and it should be said to their credit that they chose the latter alternative and that even when, afterwards, in the time of the Caliphate of ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, very high stipends were paid to them, they lived extremely simple lives and spent most of the money in charity.
The words, "I will provide for you and send you away in a handsome manner" imply that the Holy Prophet’s wives were allowed a free choice and if anyone of them had elected to part company with him, it would have entailed no displeasure of God, on the contrary she would have been handsomely provided.
It may also be noted that just as the Holy Prophet was a perfect exemplar for all sections of humanity, his wives were expected to serve as model for women in their special sphere. This is why they have been called "the Mothers of the Faithful." Naturally, a very strict and high standard of self-discipline and self-denial is demanded of them in this and the next few verses.

As the Holy Prophet’s wives were to serve as a model in social behaviour, it was in the fitness of things that they should have been required to set an example in self-denial. Not that the use of money and the amenities of life were completely forbidden to them, but they were certainly expected to set a very high standard of self-abnegation. It is to this high standard of the sacrifice of material benefits and of an affluent and easy living to which the present and the following few verses refer. The companionship of the Holy Prophet demanded this sacrifice, and his wives were told to make a choice between comfortable life and his companionship.
يَٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ مَن يَأْتِ مِنكُنَّ بِفَٰحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ يُضَٰعَفْ لَهَا ٱلْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا
假如她们宁要物质上的舒适, 这就是 فَاحِشَة (Fahishah) 这个单词用在本节经文中的意义 (Lane), 她们将会树立一个很坏的榜样;而作为穆圣的妻子们, 她们的榜样必然要被别的妇女们仿效, 这就会为她们带来重大的责任, 并因此而应受加倍的惩罚。另一方面, 如果她们献身于安拉和他的使者而树立起一个为其他人仿效的自我否定崇高榜样, 她们也将获得加倍的嘉奖。
فَاحِشَۃٌ اس بُرے کام کو کہتے ہیں جس کی بُرائی نظر آجائے۔ چونکہ نبی کی بیویوں کو اعلیٰ نیکیوں کی تعلیم دی گئی ہے اس لئے اگر ان سے کوئی ایسا کام ظاہر ہو جو اعلیٰ نیکی نہیں گو عام نیکی ہے تب بھی وہ محاورہ میں فَاحِشَۃٌ کہلائے گا۔
Conduct falling short of the highest standards of faith.
If they prefer physical comforts, which is the significance of the word Fahishah (Lane) used in the verse, they would be setting a very bad example, and as wives of the Holy Prophet whose example was bound to be followed by other women they would be incurring a grave responsibility and would, therefore, deserve double punishment. On the other hand, if they were devoted to God and His Messenger and had set a noble example of self-denial for others to copy, their reward would also be double.
Important Words:
فاحشة (anything exceeding the bounds of rectitude) being derived from فحش means, an excess or anything exceeding the bounds of
rectitude or a thing excessively evil; anything forbidden by God, unseemly conduct; also avarice or niggardliness in the payment of Zakah (Aqrab). See also 2:170 & 4:16.
Commentary:
The words "the punishment would be doubled to her" signify, that if they hankered after physical comforts, which in reality is the significance of the word فاحشة used in the verse, they would be setting a very bad example, and as wives of the Holy Prophet whose example was bound to be followed by other women they would be incurring a grave responsibility and would, therefore, deserve double punishment. On the other hand, if they were devoted to God and His Messenger and had set a noble example for others to copy, their reward would also be double.

By implication all Muslim women are included in this injunction. They are expected to be kind and gentle in speech but their gentleness should not be misunderstood by any evilly-inclined person for pliancy and softness.

This is a general law of God which invariably comes into operation whenever a Prophet of God makes his appearance. The advent of every Prophet is attended in an extraordinary degree with calamities and miseries of diverse kinds which are intended to serve as an eye-opener for the people.

Commentary:
This verse refers to a general law of God which invariably comes into operation whenever a Prophet of God makes his appearance. The advent of every Prophet is attended in an extraordinary manner with calamities and miseries of diverse kinds that afflict mankind in order to serve as an eye-opener for the people.
If the Messenger of God is raised for a particular people, then only that people are made to suffer, but if he is raised for the whole world, then the whole world is visited by afflictions and disasters. These afflictions are meant as warnings and are intended to awaken the people. Two things may be inferred from this verse: (1) that general disasters do not overtake a people unless a Prophet of God has first been raised; (2) that it never happens that the advent of a Prophet of God is not accompanied by calamities of a general nature.
