Bayhaqi 13428 — The saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic: "O wives"
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: فَأَبَانَهُنَّ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "So Allah Almighty distinguished them (that is, the Pure Wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) from the women of all the worlds."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْإِمَامُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الْخَالِقِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ السَّقَطِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الْهُذَيْلِ، عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ يَعْنِي اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: " فَإِنَّكُنَّ مَعْشَرَ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَنْظُرْنَ إِلَى الْوَحْيِ، فَأَنْتُنَّ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ بِالتَّقْوَى، وَقَالَ قَبْلَهُ: {يَا نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ مَنْ يَأْتِ مِنْكُنَّ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ} [الأحزاب: ٣٠] قَالَ مُقَاتِلٌ: يَعْنِي الْعِصْيَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ {يُضَاعَفْ لَهَا الْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ} [الأحزاب: ٣٠] فِي الْآخِرَةِ، {وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللهِ يَسِيرًا} [النساء: ٣٠]، يَقُولُ: وَكَانَ عَذَابُهَا عَلَى اللهِ هَيِّنًا، {وَمَنْ يَقْنُتْ مِنْكُنَّ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ} [الأحزاب: ٣١]، يَعْنِي وَمَنْ يُطِعْ مِنْكُنَّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، {وَتَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا نُؤْتِهَا أَجْرَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ} [الأحزاب: ٣١] فِي الْآخِرَةِ بِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ أَوْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ تَكْبِيرَةٍ أَوْ تَسْبِيحَةٍ بِاللِّسَانِ مَكَانَ كُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ تُكْتَبُ عِشْرِينَ حَسَنَةً، {وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهَا رِزْقًا كَرِيمًا} [الأحزاب: ٣١] يَعْنِي حَسَنًا وَهِيَ الْجَنَّةُ ".
It is narrated from Muqatil bin Sulayman (may Allah have mercy on him) that Allah Almighty said: O company of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)! You see the revelation, and you are more deserving of piety than other people. And before that He said: "O wives of the Prophet, whoever of you commits a manifest indecency" [Surah al-Ahzab: 30]. Muqatil said: By indecency is meant disobedience to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, mentioning the rest of the verse, he said: the doubled punishment refers to the Hereafter, and "that is easy for Allah" means that punishing her is easy for Allah. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and does righteous deeds, We will give her reward twice, that is, in the Hereafter, for every prayer, fast, charity, takbir and tasbih, in short for every good deed, We will give a reward equal to twenty good deeds. And We have prepared for her a noble provision, that is, good provision in Paradise.
