Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wide
Surah at-Tahrim is Medinan. According to reports in Bukhari and Muslim, its opening verses were revealed when the Prophet, to please some of his wives, forbade himself something lawful (in the predominant report, honey), and when a confidence he had entrusted to one of his wives was disclosed. The surah declares that oaths may be released through expiation, contains admonition and guidance addressed to the Prophet's household, and closes with examples of believing and disbelieving women.
