55. Reason for its Revelation:
After the revelation of the previous verse, the Noble Companions enquired from the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم about those guest houses that are built between the holy cities of Makkah and Madina or on the road to Syria, whether these, too, cannot be entered without permission. As a reply, this verse was revealed. These signify guest houses, public homes, etc.
56. Because these are founded for public use in which one has the right to stay, to bath, to rest, etc.
57. In this there is a hint that one should not frequent these places with any evil intentions. Anyone who goes there with the intention of stealing or seeing strange women shall be punished.
