Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Razin, in the commentary of the verse { لَا یَحِلُّ لَکَ النِّسَائُ مِنْ بَعْدُ } of the Holy Qur'an, states that only those polytheist women are lawful for you who have been taken captive or whom you become the owners of.

Hazrat Mujahid, in the commentary of the verse { لَا یَحِلُّ لَکَ النِّسَائُ مِنْ بَعْدُ } of the Holy Qur'an, states that it refers to Muslim women, not Christian or non-believing women.

Hazrat Mujahid, in the commentary of the verse { لَا یَحِلُّ لَکَ النِّسَائُ مِنْ بَعْدُ } of the Holy Quran, states that it refers to the women of the People of the Book.

Hazrat Mujahid, in the commentary of the verse { لَا یَحِلُّ لَکَ النِّسَائُ مِنْ بَعْدُ } of the Holy Quran, states that it refers to the women after this cause.

Hazrat Ziyad says that Hazrat Abi was asked, "If all the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had passed away, would marriage be permissible for you?" Hazrat Abi replied, "What would have prevented it? Allah Almighty made every type of woman lawful for the Prophet (peace be upon him). He could marry whomever he wished." Then he recited this blessed verse { یَا أَیُّہَا النَّبِیُّ إنَّا أَحْلَلْنَا لَکَ أَزْوَاجَک اللاَّتِی }

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that until his passing, all women were lawful for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Hazrat Ata says that in the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَلاَ أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِہِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَک حُسْنُہُنَّ }, the women whom it is forbidden to marry refer to Jewish and Christian women.

Hazrat Hakam, in the explanation of the verse of the Holy Qur'an { لَا یَحِلُّ لَکَ النِّسَائُ مِنْ بَعْدُ }, states that it refers to women of the People of the Book or rural women.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Shaddad, in the commentary of the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَلاَ أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِہِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ }, states that it means if the Prophet divorces his wives, it is not permissible to replace those women. As for marriage, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) married even after the revelation of this verse. When this verse was revealed, there were nine women in his marriage, then he married Hazrat Umm Habibah and Hazrat Juwayriyyah (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Hazrat Hasan says that in the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَلاَ أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِہِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ }, Allah Almighty limited His Prophet to those nine women in whose presence he passed away. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Zaid says that I told this to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Husain, so he said that the Prophet ﷺ was still permitted to marry after that.
