The reason for the naming of Surat al-Hujurat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks about Surat al-Hujurat, and why it was named Surat al-Hujurat? And does it have a connection to rooms?
Answer:
Yes, al-Hujurat are the rooms, the living quarters of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because he and his wives resided in rooms near the mosque. This is what is meant by the phrase "from behind the al-Hujurat," i.e., the rooms in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) resided. A group of Bedouins came with the roughness of the Bedouins and said, "O Muhammad, come out to us." So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Al-Hujurat 49:4-5] They raised their voices against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Come out to us," because they had not been raised with the manners of the Shari'ah due to their ignorance. Yes.

(4) Indeed, those who call you, [O Muhammad], from behind the chambers - most of them do not use reason. (5) And if they had been patient until you [could] come out to them, it would have been better for them. But Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَكَ مِن وَرَاءِ الْحُجُرَاتِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّىٰ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ
