Q
What can be inferred about the relationship between divine revelation and the personal circumstances of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)?
A
I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and I used to say,
“Can a lady give herself (to a man)?” But when Allah revealed: “You (O Muhammad) can postpone
(the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will;
and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).’ (33.51) I
said (to the Prophet), “I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.”
