Hadith 554

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: بَعَثَ اللهُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالنَّاسُ عَلَى أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمَرُوا بِشَيْءٍ، وَيُنْهَوْا عَنْهُ فَكَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَى، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِلنِّسَاءِ عَدَدٌ وَلَا ذِكْرٌ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: { وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَى وَثُلاثَ وَرُبَاعَ } وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَتَزَوَّجُ مَا شَاءَ، فَقَالَ: كَمَا تَخَافُونَ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى، فَخَافُوا فِي النِّسَاءِ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فِيهِنَّ .
Saeed bin Jubair, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when the people were upon the ways of ignorance, except that they were commanded or forbidden regarding something. They used to ask about orphans, and there was neither any number nor mention for women. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: “And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphans, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four,” and men were permitted to marry as many women as they wished. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: Just as you fear injustice regarding orphans, so too fear injustice regarding women.
