Continuation of the explanation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And His wives are their mothers”

So, in what sense? From both aspects, meaning that we are in the position of sons to the wives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and they are in the position of mothers to us. But is this in terms of prohibition, looking, and seclusion, or is it only in terms of respect? The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says: “In the prohibition of marrying them”. This is sufficient. The prohibition of marrying them is sufficient. There is no doubt that it is not permissible for anyone to marry a woman from the wives of the Prophet after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). But this respect is not for them alone, but also for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) out of respect for him. Therefore, if a man dies leaving a wife, even if she does not menstruate, she observes the waiting period of four months and ten days out of respect for the first marriage, unless she is pregnant, in which case it is until she gives birth. I say that they are the mothers of the believers in the prohibition of marriage and in the obligation of respecting them. Now, who is asking?
