Surah Al-Mumtahana · Ayah 12·Madanī

12

إِذَا عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّا وَلَا وَلَا وَلَا وَلَا وَلَا فِى لَهُنَّ إِنَّ ﴿١٢﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

O Prophet, when the believing women come to you pledging to you that they will not associate anything with Allah, nor will they steal, nor will they commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor will they kill their children, nor will they bring forth a slander they have invented between their arms and legs, nor will they disobey you in what is right - then accept their pledge and ask forgiveness for them of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

شرایط بیعت زنان

به طوری که مفسران نوشته‌انده این یه در روز فتح مکه نازل شد. هنگامی که پیامبر(ص) بر کوه صفا قرار گرفته بود از مردان بیمت گرفت. زنان مکه که ایمان آورده بودند» برای بیست خدمتش آمدند. این آیه نازل شد و کیفیت بیعت با آنان را شرح داد. در مورد چگونگی بیعت نوشته‌اند که پیامبر دستور داد ظرف آبی آوردند و دست خود را در آن ظرف آب گذارد و زنان هم دست خود را در طرف دیگر ظرف می‌گذاشتند. این یه نشان می‌دهد که بر خلاف گفتةٌ بی‌خبران یا مغرضانی که می‌گویند اسلام برای نیمی از جامعةٌ انسانی یعنی زنان ارزشی قائّل نشده و آنها را به حساب نیاورده» دقیقاً آنها را در مهم‌ترین امور به حساب آورده است؛از جمله بیمت که آنها نیز دوش به دوش مردان در این پیمان الهی وارد شدند و حتی شرایط بیشتری را نسبت به مردان پذیرا گشتند؛ شرایطی که هویت انسانی زن را زنده می‌کرد و او را از این که به متاع بی‌ارزش یا وسیله‌ای برای کامجویی مردان هوس‌ران تبدیل شود» نجات می‌داد.
