سُوْرَةُ الطَّلَاقِ
Surah At-Talaaq (65) — Ayah 7
لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُۥ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَآ ءَاتَىٰهَا ۚ سَيَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا ﴿7﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Let the rich man spend according to his means; and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allâh has given him. Allâh puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. Allâh will grant after hardship, ease.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
7. 1 That is, nursing women should be given wages according to one's ability. If Allah has granted abundance in wealth and property, then it is necessary to provide for the wet nurse with that abundance.
7. 2 That is, one is financially weak.
7. 3 Therefore, He does not command the poor and weak to give the wet nurse a higher wage. The meaning of these instructions is that both the child's mother and the child's father should adopt such an appropriate attitude that neither causes harm to the other, and the issue of breastfeeding the child does not become serious, as stated elsewhere (لَا تُضَاۗرَّ وَالِدَةٌۢ بِوَلَدِھَا وَلَا مَوْلُوْدٌ لَّهٗ بِوَلَدِهٖ) 2. Al-Baqarah:233) neither should the mother be harmed because of her child, nor the father.
7. 4 Thus, those who trust and rely on Allah, Allah grants them ease and abundance as well.
