Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

O you the prophet, say to your wives: If you are interested in life here and in its mundane splendour then come I will fit you out with what is necessary for your enjoyment and your indemnity and set you free gracefully

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(33:28) O Prophet, *41 tell your wives: 'If you seek the world and its embellishments, then come and I will make some provision for you and release you in an honourable way.

O Prophet, say to your wives, "If you should desire the worldly meaning

*41) The verses from here to 35 were sent down in the period contiguous to the Battle of the Trench and the raid on Bani Quraizah, whose background we have touched upon in the Introduction to this Surah. According to a tradition related in Muslim on the authority of Hadrat Jabir bin `Abdullah, "One day when Hadrat Abu Bakr and Hadrat 'Umar visited the Holy Prophet, they saw that his wives were sitting around him and he was quiet. Addressing Hadrat `Umar, he said: `They are sitting around me as you see: they are asking for money for household expenditure'." At this both the Companions rebuked their daughters and said, "Why do you embarrass the Holy Prophet and demand from him that which he does not have." This event shows how hard pressed the Holy Prophct was economically at that time and how distressed and embarrassed he was feeling at his wives' demand for domestic expenditure during the period when a bitter conflict was going on between Islam and paganism.
