Commentary

‘Inaa – (moment, time for being prepared)

Way of meeting with one another has been caused to understand to the Muslims in this verse. Its origin should be on this matter that any other should not be harmed and nor any problem should be created for anyone else. It has been described in it that dwelling place of a mankind is like a place of retirement, in which he performs such works which should not be intervened by any other. If any such place does not remain for the mankind then he would have to face many troubles.

It is commanded: It is unlawful to enter any other’s house fearlessly without permission and any proper reason. You should not rush; particularly in the houses of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) as and when you desire, but you should enter then when you are permitted for a meal. Moreover, you should not reach there before time so that you may wait for the readiness of the meal. But when you are invited, then you should enter; and when you have eaten, then you should disperse without seeking to remain for conversation because you like to talk and do not like to get out. Usually the houses are small and it is not suitable for the guests to reach before time and begin talking after taking meal.
