His Wives Are (as) Their Mothers Options

How do you understand "and his wives are [as] their mothers" in 33:6?

I have read Pooya/Ali's tafsir of this verse. Can somebody post other Shia tafsirs (in English) for it? JazakAllah.


Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil aalameen.



la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Al-‘Atheemu Al-Haleemu, la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbul ‘arshil-‘atheemi,
la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbus-samaawaati wa Rabbul-ardhi wa Rabbul-‘arshil-kareemi
there is no god except Allah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no god except Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne;
there is no god except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.

[Kalaam]

We read in Tafsir al Mizan by Tabatabai

وقوله: (وأزواجه أمهاتهم) جعل تشريعي أي انهن منهم بمنزلة أمهاتهم في وجوب تعظيمهن وحرمة نكاحهن بعد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم

(and his wives are their mothers). This is the Sharia ruling i.e. his wives are to the men like their mothers, and by necessity they (i.e the wives of the Prophet) have to be honoured and are not allowed to be taken as wives after Prophet(saw).

Tafsir al Mizan, Vol. 16, p. 288

It is mentioned in Tafsir Safi by Faiz Kashani

وأزوجه أمهاتهم منزلات منزلتهن في التحريم مطلقا وفي استحقاق التعظيم

(And his wives are their mothers) means they share the station of prohibition in marriage and deserving treatment of grandeur.

Tafsir Safi , Volume 4, p. 168

Ayatullah Makarim Shirazi has also concurred from this verse of Quran that it not only shows the prohibition of marrying the wives of the Prophet (s) but also it shows the veneration of the wives of the Prophet (s).

Tafsir Namoona, Vol. 17, p. 180

The following narration present in Shia tafasir also shows that this verse shows the veneration of the wives of the Prophet (s), though saying that the Prophet gave his right of divorce to Ali in case his wives do something wrong (just imagine the absurdity)

عن القائم (عليه السلام) انه سئل عن معنى الطلاق الذي فوض رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) حكمه إلى أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام)؟ قال: إن الله تقدس اسمه عظم شأن نساء النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فخصهن بشرف الأمهات، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): يا أبا الحسن إن هذا الشرف باق ما دمن على الطاعة فأيتهن عصت الله بعدي بالخروج عليك فأطلقها في الأزواج، وأسقطها من تشرف الأمهات ومن شرف أمومة المؤمنين

It is narrated from Imam Qaim that he was asked about the right of divorce, That the Messenger of Allah (s) left it at the discretion of Amirul Momineen (i.e Ali)?” He replied: “The Almighty Allah, hallowed be His name, gave an exalted status to the wives of the Prophet and gave them the honor of being the mothers of the faithful. Thus the Messenger of Allah (s) told Amirul Momineen : O Abal Hasan, this status is valid for them till they remain in the obedience of the Almighty Allah. So whoever of them disobeys Allah and after that me, comes out in armed confrontation against you, remove her from my wifehood and take away her status of motherhood of faithful.”

[IslamBox]

I agree with Kalaam that Allah gave the status of mother to Prophets Wife. It means that she is the mother of all faithful believers of the prophet and Allah. So in conclusion no one can marry the wife of Prophet.
