What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted: “He made known some of it and turned away from some of it”?

Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted: ?

Answer:
“He made known some of it” refers to the prohibition of Maryam, the prohibition of Maryam. And “He turned away from some of it” refers to his (peace and blessings be upon him) informing about the succession of Abu Bakr and 'Umar after him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not make this clear to the people; rather, he only made clear to Hafsa what he said to Hafsa: “Why did you say such and such?” He only told her about the prohibition of Maryam, or the prohibition of honey. He did not say to her, “Why did you inform about the succession of Abu Bakr and 'Umar?” So, Allah knows best, this is the meaning of His saying: “He made known some of it, meaning the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and turned away from some of it.” Yes.
