connection this Verse was revealed?" I replied, "No." He said, "It was revealed in such-and-such connection." Ibn 'Umar then
resumed his recitation. Nafi added regarding the Verse: "So go to your tilth when or how you will." Ibn 'Umar said, "It means
one should approach his wife in..."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 2138
Narrated by
Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah
I said: Apostle of Allah, how should we approach our wives and how should we leave them? He replied: Approach your tilth
when or how you will, give her (your wife) food when you take food, clothe when you clothe yourself, do not revile her face,
and do not beat her.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 2159
Abdullah Ibn Abbas
Narrated by
Ibn Umar misunderstood (the Qur'anic verse, "So come to your tilth however you will")--may Allah forgive him. The fact is that
this clan of the Ansar, who were idolaters, lived in the company of the Jews who were the people of the Book. They (the
Ansar) accepted their superiority over themselves in respect of knowledge, and they followed most of their actions. The
people of the Book (i.e. the Jews) used to have intercourse with their women on one side alone (i.e. lying on their backs).
This was the most concealing position for (the vagina of) the women. This clan of the Ansar adopted this practice from them.
But this tribe of the Quraysh used to uncover their women completely, and seek pleasure with them from in front and behind
and laying them on their backs. When the muhajirun (the immigrants) came to Medina, a man married a woman of the
Ansar. He began to do the same kind of action with her, but she disliked it, and said to him: We were approached on one side
(i.e. lying on the back); do it so, otherwise keep away from me. This matter of theirs spread widely, and it reached the Apostle
of Allah (peace be upon him). So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur'anic verse: "Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to
your tilth however you will," i.e. from in front, from behind or lying on the back. But this verse meant the place of the delivery
of the child, i.e. the vagina.
TIME:
2:164 - Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the
day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which
Allah sends down from the skies and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead;
in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds and the
clouds which they trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth; (here) indeed are signs
for a people that are wise. 166
166 This magnificent Nature passage stands out like a hill in a landscape, enhancing the beauty of our view, and
preparing us for the every-day laws and ordinances which follow. (2.164)
2:189 - They ask thee concerning the new moons. Say: they are but signs to mark fixed periods of
time in (the affairs of) men and for pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter your houses from the
back; it is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses through the proper doors and fear Allah that ye
may prosper. 202203
202 There were many superstitions connected with the New Moon, as there are to the present day. We are told to
disregard such superstitions. As a measure of time, where the lunar calendar is used, the New Moon is one great
sign, for which people watch with eagerness. Muslim festivals, including the Pilgrimage, are fixed by the appearance
of the New Moon. The Arabs, among other superstitions, had one which made them enter their houses by the back
door during or after the Pilgrimage. This is disapproved, for there is no virtue in any such artificial restrictions. All
virtue proceeds from the love and fear of God. (2.189)
203 This is a Muslim proverb now, and much might be written about its manifold meanings. A few may be notes here. (1)
If you enter a society, respect its manners and customs. (2) If you want to achieve an object honourably, go about it
openly and not "by a backdoor". (3) Do not beat about the bush. (4) If you wish success in an undertaking, provide all
the necessary instruments for it. (2.189)
3:190 - Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day
there are indeed Signs for men of understanding. 497
497 See ii. 164. The two items mentioned here are just brief symbols recalling the six or seven mentioned in the other
passage. And those too are but brief symbols and reminders of the glorious majesty of Allah and His goodness to
man. (3.190)
6:66 - But thy people reject this though it is the truth. Say: "Not mine is the responsibility for
arranging your affairs; 890
890 At the date of this revelation, the Apostle's people had as a body not only rejected God's truth, but were persecuting it.
The Apostle's duty was to deliver his Message, which he did. He was not reponsible for their conduct. But he told
them plainly that all warnings from God had their time limit, as they would soon find out, within a very few years. For
