Hello,
Could someone please explain the context of the supposed oaths which the Prophet had with the ma malakat aymanukum in the following verse:
O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. (33:50)
Also what is the context of the oaths in this verse:
And those who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed ? 79:29-30
Assuming it is possible that the translations are wrong in the above citations and it actually means ?oaths? what were these oaths? Did all sides take an oath? If so, for what? Is there any historical context? I?m very confused and find it hard to understand!
Thanks
