Juz 28 · Page 550

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا جَآءَكُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتُ مُهَٰجِرَٰتٍ فَٱمْتَحِنُوهُنَّ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَٰنِهِنَّ فَإِنْ عَلِمْتُمُوهُنَّ مُؤْمِنَٰتٍ فَلَا تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى ٱلْكُفَّارِ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّ وَءَاتُوهُم مَّآ أَنفَقُوا۟ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ إِذَآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوا۟ بِعِصَمِ ٱلْكَوَافِرِ وَسْـَٔلُوا۟ مَآ أَنفَقْتُمْ وَلْيَسْـَٔلُوا۟ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ ذَٰلِكُمْ حُكْمُ ٱللَّهِ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ١٠

O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. But give the disbelievers what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation. And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them ask for what they have spent. That is the judgement of Allah; He judges between you. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

Context

The believing women emigrants not to be returned

10

One clause of the Treaty of Hudaybiyya stipulated that those who fled from Mecca to Medina would be returned. According to the reports, after the treaty some believing women, such as Umm Kulthum bint Uqba, emigrated to Medina and their families demanded their return. Thereupon the verse was revealed: “O you who believe, when believing women come to you as emigrants, test them; and if you know them to be believers, do not send them back to the disbelievers,” and the women were not returned. The verse also ruled that the dowers that had been paid be reimbursed to the other side.

Revelation context of the surah

Surah-wide

Surah al-Mumtahana is Medinan, revealed in the period between the Treaty of Hudaybiyya and the conquest of Mecca (around 8 AH). Its opening verses came down when the companion Hatib ibn Abi Balta'a secretly sent a letter to Mecca disclosing preparations for the conquest, and they regulated believers' ties of allegiance with a hostile party. The surah also contains rulings on testing the believing women who emigrated to Medina, from which it takes its name ('she who is examined').
