Transliteration:( 'A-ashfaqtum an tuqaddimoo baina yadai najwaakum sadaqaat; fa-iz lam taf'aloo wa taabal laahu 'alaikum fa aqeemus Salaata wa aatuz Zakaata wa atee'ul laaha wa rasoolah; wallaahu khabeerum bimaa ta'maloon )
50. Fine, We will repeal its obligation. This tells us that Allah Almighty is consoling the Noble Companions by declaring forgiveness for it.
51. Here, 'repentance' signifies rescinding of this command because none of the Companions. had infringed this so that their repentance could have been accepted.
52. This tells us that conversing with the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is superior to all the acts of worship. Anyone who obtains this, is superior among all the Muslims. Therefore, a command is given that in gratitude for this, spend your subsequent lives in the worship of Allah Almighty. The reciter of the Holy Qur'aan is a Qari; one who visits the Holy Ka'bah is a Hajee but the one who sees the Holy Prophet is a Companion. A Companion is superior and loftier than all the saints. It should be remembered that beholding the Holy Prophet gave of Abu Bakr Siddiq makes you into a Companion, but not the gaze of Abu Jahl.
53. This means Oh group of Companions, although We have now cancelled the obligatory law regarding charity, the law still exists that whoever has the privilege of talking to My Beloved Rasul صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم he should present himself in his court, and due to this honour he shall become pious and a God-fearing person.
Some elderly persons had been seen that after their visit to Madina Munawwarah, they immediately abstained from all sins and became very pious and God-fearing. They say that this piety is the gratitude for their visit to the Holy City. This type of action is indeed acting on this blessed verse. Such people are successful in this world and the Hereafter. Seeing the eyes of these visitors, too, is an act of worship."Those eyes which have seen the Beloved are worthy for my gaze; Finding you is like finding the Beloved, and this paves the way for success".
The tafsir of Surah Mujadilah verse 13 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Mujadilah ayat 12 which provides the complete commentary from verse 12 through 13.
30. This second command was sent down some time after the first command, and it concealed the injunction of giving something in charity. However, there is a difference of opinion as to how long the injunction remained in force. Qatadah says it remained in force for less than a day and then was abrogated. Muqatil bin Hayyan says that it remained in force for ten days; and this is the longest period of its life mentioned in any tradition.
