سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّساءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ لا أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْواجٍ وَ لَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ إِلَّا ما مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ فَقَالَ أَرَاكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ مَا لَمْ يَحِلَّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ قَدْ أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِرَسُولِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا شَاءَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدِ الَّذِي حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكَ قَوْلُهُ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهاتُكُمْ وَ بَناتُكُمْ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:33#h52"><a href="/books/quran:33#h52">[33:52]</a></a> It is not allowed to you to take women afterwards, nor that you should change them for other wives, though their beauty be pleasing to you, except what your right hand possesses</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> am seeing that you all are alleging that it is Permissible for you all whatever was Permissible for Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Exalted had Permitted to His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup> that he<sup>saww</sup> could marry from the women whatever he<sup>saww</sup> so desired to. But rather, He<sup>azwj</sup> Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:33#h52"><a href="/books/quran:33#h52">[33:52]</a></a> It is not Permissible for you to take women afterwards</span> which He<sup>azwj</sup> Prohibited upon you by His<sup>azwj</sup> Words <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h23"><a href="/books/quran:4#h23">[4:23]</a></a> Forbidden to you are your mothers and your daughters and your sisters </span>– up to the end of the Verse’.
