[11] The Knowledge and the Ease تَفْسِيرُ النُّعْمَانِيِّ، بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ فِي كِتَابِ الْقُرْآنِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ وَ لا تَنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكاتِ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَّ وَ لَأَمَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُشْرِكَةٍ وَ لَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ وَ لا تُنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنُوا وَ لَعَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُشْرِكٍ و لَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ‏ (The book) ‘Tafseer Al Numani’ – By the previous chain in ‘Kitab Al Quran’, from Amir Al Momineen -asws regarding Words of the Exalted: And do not marry the Mushrik women until they believe, and a Momina maid is better than a Mushrik woman, and even if she fascinates you; and do not marry the Mushrik men until they believe, and a Momin slave is better than a Mushrik man, and even if he fascinates you [2:221] .

وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا يَنْكِحُونَ فِي أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى وَ يُنْكِحُونَهُمْ حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ نَهَى أَنْ يَنْكِحَ الْمُسْلِمُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِ أَوْ يُنْكِحُونَهُ ‘And that is because the Muslims were marrying among People of the Book, from the Jews and the Christians, and they were giving in marriage to them until the Verse was Revealed Prohibiting the Muslims from marrying the Polytheist, or marrying to him’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَالَى فِي سُورَةِ الْمَائِدَةِ مَا نَسَخَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَقَالَ‏ وَ طَعامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ وَ طَعامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ وَ الْمُحْصَناتُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِناتِ وَ الْمُحْصَناتُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ‏ Then the Exalted Said in Surah Al Maidah what Abrogated this Verse.

فَأَطْلَقَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُنَاكَحَتَهُنَّ بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَ نَهَى وَ تَرَكَ قَوْلَهُ‏ وَ لا تُنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنُوا عَلَى حَالَةٍ لَمْ يَنْسَخْهُ Thus, the Mighty and Majestic Permitted marrying them after having Prohibited, and Left His -azwj Words: And do not marry the Mushrik women until they believe [2:221] upon its state, not Abrogating it .
