Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is...

Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is permission for you to a meal, (and) not waiting for its preparation, but when you are invited, then enter. So when you have been fed, then disperse and not lingering for discussion. Surely, that was hurtful to the Prophet, but he was bashful from you, and Allah is not Embarrassed from (Speaking) the Truth.

And when you ask them (wives of Rasool-Allah) for any chattels, then ask them from behind a curtain, that would be purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it was not for you that you should hurt Rasool-Allah, nor that you marry his wives from after him, ever!

Surely, that would be grievous in the Presence of Allah [33:53] ابن بابويه، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن الحسين بن علوان، عن الأعمش، عن عباية الأسدي، عن عبد الله بن عباس: أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) تزوج زينب بنت جحش، فأولم، و كانت وليمته الحيس، و كان يدعو عشرة عشرة، فكانوا إذا أصابوا طعام رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) استأنسوا إلى حديثه، و استغنموا النظر إلى وجهه، و كان رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) يشتهي أن يخففوا عنه فيخلو له المنزل، لأنه حديث عهد بعرس، و كان يكره أذى المؤمنين له، Ibn babuwayh, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Waleed, from Muhammad bin Al-Hassan Al-Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Al-Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Sa’ad, from Al-Husayn Bin Alwaan, from Al-Amsh, from Abayat Al-Asady, from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said that, ‘Rasool-Allah -saww married Zaynab Bint Jahsh, so he -saww gave a banquet, and it was the banquet of Al-Heys (A dish of dates, flour and margarine), and he -saww used to invite ten at a time.

So, whenever they were finished with the meal with Rasool-Allah -saww , they sat in conversation, and looked at his -saww face. And Rasool-Allah -saww was too courteous that he -saww should leave them alone in the room, and he -saww had just been newly married, and did not like hurting the Momineen.

فأنزل الله عز و جل: يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلى طَعامٍ غَيْرَ ناظِرِينَ إِناهُ وَ لكِنْ إِذا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا فَإِذا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوا وَ لا مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ إِنَ‏ ذلِكُمْ كانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ، فلما نزلت هذه الآية، كان الناس إذا أصابوا طعام نبيهم (صلى الله عليه و آله) لم يلبثوا أن يخرجوا.
