The reason for the revelation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Perhaps his Lord, if he divorces you, will replace you with wives better than you"

Question:
The questioner: Shaykh, what is the reason for the revelation of this verse? I read it in Surat al-Tahrim ?

Answer:
The Shaykh: The reason is that the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Aisha and Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with them), asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for financial maintenance, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was not in a state of ease, meaning that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) had not opened up the worldly wealth for him. And they asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) and affected his feelings (peace and blessings be upon him), so Allah rebuked them in this verse . This contains a prohibition for the Mothers of the Believers from hurting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or asking him for something he does not have. Yes.
