Al-Baqarah 2:187

Juz 2 · Page 29

أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ ٱلصِّيَامِ ٱلرَّفَثُ إِلَىٰ نِسَآئِكُمْ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ عَلِمَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنكُمْ فَٱلْـَٰٔنَ بَٰشِرُوهُنَّ وَٱبْتَغُوا۟ مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ ٱلْخَيْطُ ٱلْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْطِ ٱلْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ ٱلْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلصِّيَامَ إِلَى ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا تُبَٰشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنتُمْ عَٰكِفُونَ فِى ٱلْمَسَٰجِدِ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهَا كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ١٨٧

It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allah, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah make clear His ordinances to the people that they may become righteous.

Context

Rules for the nights of fasting and the white thread

187

This verse made eating, drinking and marital relations lawful during the nights of Ramadan, lifting the severe earlier practice; according to the reports, some Companions considered these forbidden after the night prayer and suffered great hardship. As narrated in Bukhari, Adi b. Hatim took the phrase “until the white thread becomes distinct from the black thread” literally and placed a white and a black cord under his pillow, whereupon the Prophet explained that it refers to the darkness of night and the light of day. As narrated from Sahl b. Sa'd, the qualifying words “of dawn” were revealed afterwards, making the meaning fully clear.

Revelation context of the surah

Surah-wide

Al-Baqarah was the first surah revealed in Medina, coming down in portions over an extended period beginning in the first years after the Hijra. Its main context is the founding of the Muslim community in Medina, relations with the People of the Book (especially the Jewish tribes), the conduct of the hypocrites, and the change of the qibla (2 AH). It contains foundational legislation on fasting, pilgrimage, family law and the prohibition of usury; the usury verses are reported to be among the last revealed.
