The Clans
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[33:29]
but if you desire God and His Apostle, and [thus the good of] the life in the hereafter, then [know that], verily, for the doers of good among you God has readied a mighty reward!"

* v.29 : When, immediately after their revelation, the Prophet recited the above two verses to his wives, all of them emphatically rejected all thought of separation and declared that they had chosen “God and His Apostle and the [good of the] hereafter” (recorded in several compilations of ahādīth, among them Bukhārī and Muslim). Some of the earliest Islamic scholars (e.g., Qatādah and Al-Hasan, as quoted by Tabarī) held that the subsequent revelation of verse 52 of this sūrah constituted God’s reward, as it were, for this attitude.
